About Creswell Junior School

Creswell Junior School is a state primary in Bolsover, Derbyshire, with a current roll of 232 pupils against a capacity of 320, meaning it has around 88 spare places. That spare capacity is notable given the school's intake profile: 55.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a community with higher-than-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is a junior school, taking children from age 7 to 11, and is mixed-gender with no religious character. Despite the available places, the school does not appear to be oversubscribed based on the data, which may reflect local demographic trends or parental preferences in the area. The headteacher is Alison Pymm, who has been in post since at least the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023.
