About Brookfield Primary School

Brookfield Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Derby families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 133 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.43. Of those, 45 families put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation locally. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is non-religious and sits in the Derby local authority. Headteacher Katy Smith leads a school of 249 pupils, just shy of its capacity of 262. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the sheer volume of applications — more than four for every place — speaks volumes about how it is perceived by the community it serves.
