About Clover Leys Spencer Academy
Parents considering Clover Leys Spencer Academy will find a school that is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 41 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.37. Of those, 29 offers went to first-preference families, suggesting that most who put it top of their list were successful. The school is relatively small, with 116 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is room to grow, but the current popularity indicates strong local reputation. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data is not included here, the oversubscription figures alone signal that families in South Derbyshire are actively choosing this school. Headteacher Imogen Fearon leads a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision.
