About Greythorn Primary School

Greythorn Primary School in Rushcliffe is a state primary for 4 to 11 year olds that is clearly in high demand. With 305 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, the school is operating very close to full, and its admission data for 2025/26 tells a story of significant oversubscription. The school received 203 total applications for just 45 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.51, and even among first-preference applicants, there were 52 children for those 45 spots. This level of competition suggests a strong local reputation.
