About Edale Rise Primary & Nursery School

Edale Rise Primary & Nursery School is a state primary in the Nottingham local authority, where it ranks 60th out of 74 schools of the same type. That places it in the bottom quarter of the LA, well behind the three top-performing peers: St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Edna G. Olds Academy and South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School. The school is oversubscribed, with 61 applications for 30 places in 2025/26 and 22 offers made to first-preference families from 23 first-preference applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.03. Headteacher Dean-Michael Crosby leads a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school has capacity for 210 pupils but currently enrols 237, so it is running above its official capacity. A notably high proportion of pupils — 48.6 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, reflecting the school's role in a community with significant socio-economic challenges.
