About Grange Primary School

Grange Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 98 applications for just 52 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.88. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and all 52 first-preference offers were taken up. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is led by headteacher Zoe Buxton and serves 431 pupils in Erewash, Derbyshire, which is notably above its official capacity of 383. A significant 35.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a diverse intake. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged three and up, which can be a major practical advantage for working parents looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
