About Grassmoor Primary School

Grassmoor Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary school in North East Derbyshire, part of the Derbyshire local authority, catering for children aged 3 to 11. It currently has 231 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 262, leaving some physical room to grow. However, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 54 applications for just 20 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.7 to one, with 18 of those applications coming as first preferences. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44.7%, which is significantly above the national average and suggests the school serves a community with higher-than-typical levels of economic disadvantage. This intake profile is a key factor in understanding the school’s context and the challenges it navigates daily.
