About East Markham Primary School

East Markham Primary School is a state primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, and it is genuinely popular with local families. The school has capacity for 210 pupils and currently has 212 on roll, so it is essentially full. That demand is reflected in the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 52 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. All 27 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers suggest that families who don’t put it first are unlikely to get in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.1%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools (around 13-14%) and gives the school a broadly mixed intake. It is a co-educational, non-religious school with nursery provision for children from age three, and it is led by headteacher Laura Duggin.
