About Glenbrook Spencer Academy

Glenbrook Spencer Academy is a state primary school in Nottingham with 392 pupils on roll, operating just below its capacity of 420. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 46.3%, which is well above the national average and reflects the demographic of its inner-city catchment. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 47 applications for 28 places, with all 28 first-preference applicants receiving an offer, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.68. This suggests that while the school is popular among local families, it is not yet at the point of turning away a significant number of first-choice applicants. The school is mixed-gender, non-denominational, and includes a nursery provision for children from age three, making it a practical option for families seeking continuity from early years through to Year 6.
