Cropwell Bishop Primary School
About Cropwell Bishop Primary School
Cropwell Bishop Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, currently educating 186 pupils against a capacity of 203, leaving a small buffer of unfilled places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17. 7%, a figure that sits slightly above the national primary average of around 23% but still signals a modestly disadvantaged intake relative to many schools in the area. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 81 total applications for just 25 places, with all 25 first-preference applicants receiving offers. This oversubscription ratio of 3. 24 to one indicates strong local popularity, and the fact that every first-preference family secured a place suggests the school is a realistic first choice for many in the catchment. The school does not have a nursery provision, so entry begins at age four.
