About Brookfield Primary School

Brookfield Primary School is a small state primary in Bolsover, Derbyshire, and it is notably oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 24 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.43. All 7 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while demand is high, families who put it first are likely to succeed. However, the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so it is not possible to gauge satisfaction directly from that metric. The headteacher is Nicola Walker, and the school serves 166 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning there is some room for growth. With 65.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage, which is an important context for understanding its results.
