About Brockwell Nursery and Infant School

Brockwell Nursery and Infant School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and it is noticeably popular with local families. The school currently has 207 pupils on roll, which is 27 above its official capacity of 180, and the demand is clear from its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake. With 59 places available, the school received 154 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.61 applicants per place. Of those, 63 were first-preference applications, and all 59 places went to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.3%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are not tied to faith criteria, and it includes a nursery provision for three-year-olds, making it a natural starting point for families in the area looking for a full infant school journey.
