Eastwood Village Primary School
About Eastwood Village Primary School
Eastwood Village Primary School in Rotherham is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, and its current roll of 198 pupils sits well below its capacity of 315. That spare capacity is notable given the local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 20 applications for 17 places, with all 17 first-preference applicants receiving offers, producing an oversubscription ratio of 1.18. The pupil body is significantly more disadvantaged than the national average, with 71.4% of children eligible for free school meals — a figure that places the school in a high-needs context even within Rotherham. The school has nursery provision on site, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply'. Headteacher Kirsty Beresford leads a team that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024, saw the school retain its overall Good rating, a grade it has held across both its recent inspections.
