About Brimington Manor Infant and Nursery School

Brimington Manor Infant and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 64 applications for just 19 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.37. That means more than three families applied for every available spot, and all 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place. The school is a small, state-funded infant and nursery school in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, catering for children aged 3 to 7. With just 66 pupils on roll against a capacity of 103, it operates well below its maximum size, which may appeal to parents seeking a close-knit, community feel. Headteacher Katie Dennis leads the school, which has no religious character. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included in the available information, the high demand for places suggests strong local confidence.
