About Church Gresley Infant and Nursery School

Church Gresley Infant and Nursery School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, located in the South Derbyshire area of the East Midlands. With 330 pupils on roll against a capacity of 374, the school is operating below its maximum but is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 135 applications for 89 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.52. Of those, 90 were first-preference applications, and 88 first-preference offers were made — meaning almost every family who put it first got a place, but competition is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 23%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools (typically around 19-20%), suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school has a nursery provision, so it takes children from age three, and it is mixed gender with no religious character.
