About Chellaston Fields Spencer Academy

Chellaston Fields Spencer Academy is a state primary school in South Derbyshire, within the Derbyshire local authority.

The school is mixed, non-denominational, and serves children aged 4 to 11. It is currently under the leadership of headteacher John Sheard. With 173 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is not yet full, but it is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 52 applications for just 22 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.36.
