About Gamston St Peter's CofE Primary School

Gamston St Peter's CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, running at near-full capacity with 106 pupils against a school capacity of 105. Its intake reflects a notably low level of economic disadvantage: just 6.3% of pupils qualify for free school meals, well below the national average and a clear signal that the school serves a relatively affluent catchment. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 47 applications for just 14 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.36 to one. Of those, 13 were first-preference applications, and the school made 13 first-preference offers, meaning almost every family who put it first secured a place, but competition from other preferences was fierce. With nursery provision on site, the school draws families from the earliest years, and its mixed-gender, 3–11 intake means children can stay through their entire primary journey.
