About Denton Primary School

Denton Primary School is a small state primary in West Northamptonshire that clearly commands strong local loyalty. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 21 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3:1. All 6 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that families who put it top of their list are likely to succeed, but the overall demand means it's a competitive choice. The school has a nursery provision, which may help families secure a place from age 3. With just 92 pupils on roll against a capacity of 144, the school is not full, so there is some room for in-year applications. The headteacher is Rosie Gibson, and the school is non-religious, serving a mixed cohort of children aged 3 to 11.
