About Immaculate Conception Catholic Primary

Immaculate Conception Catholic Primary is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 50 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.79. Of those 50 applicants, 27 put it as their first preference, and all 27 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in North East Derbyshire. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 207 children, slightly above its official capacity of 196. Headteacher Nicola Field leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2013 graded inspection, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. The previous inspection in 2011 had rated the school Requires Improvement, so the trajectory has been clearly upward.
