Hasland Infant School
About Hasland Infant School
Hasland Infant School is a popular choice among Chesterfield families, and the numbers back that up. For entry in the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 141 applications for just 85 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.66. That means nearly two families applied for every spot, with 84 first-preference offers made. The school’s capacity is listed at 270 pupils, yet it currently has 337 on roll, which suggests a real demand for what it offers. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view recommendation percentage for this school, the high level of first-choice applications is a strong signal that local families rate it highly. The headteacher, Charlotte Lavender, leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery provision on site. The school has no religious character, and just over a fifth of pupils (22.1%) are eligible for free school meals.
