About Dunham-on-Trent CofE Primary School

Dunham-on-Trent CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, currently teaching 83 pupils against a capacity of 105. That leaves around a fifth of places empty, which is notable given the school's popularity at the admissions stage. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 19 applications for 12 places, with all 12 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 18.3%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 23% but worth keeping an eye on for context. The school is led by headteacher Anna Reynolds and has a Church of England character, though the data doesn't specify how that shapes daily life. With a mixed gender intake from ages 5 to 11, it's a straightforward primary setup without nursery or sixth-form provision.
