About Gunthorpe CofE Primary School

If you are a parent considering Gunthorpe CofE Primary School, the numbers suggest it is a popular choice locally. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 29 applications for just 7 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4. 14. All five first-preference applicants were offered a place, which is a strong signal that families who want it most tend to get in, but competition is real. The school is a small Church of England primary in Newark and Sherwood, with 73 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so there is some headroom, but clearly demand is high. ParentView data is not available here, but the oversubscription figures alone tell you that this is a school local families are actively choosing.
