About Heage Primary School

Heage Primary School is a state primary in the Amber Valley area of Derbyshire, and it’s currently running with a bit of room to spare. The school has a capacity of 210 pupils but only 186 on roll, so it’s not at full stretch. That said, the demand for places is noticeably higher than the number available. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered 15 places and received 35 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, getting in as a first choice is very achievable. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 12.9%, which is a touch below the national average for primary schools and indicates a fairly mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, catering for children from age 4 to 11, and is led by headteacher Donna Hallam.
