About Inkersall Spencer Academy

Inkersall Spencer Academy is a mixed state primary in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, currently educating 377 pupils against a capacity of 420, so it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 40.3%, which is significantly above the national average and signals a high level of socio-economic disadvantage in the intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 89 total applications for 53 places, with all 53 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.68. This suggests that local families actively choose the school despite the challenging demographic context. The school has a nursery provision, catering for children from age three, and serves a mixed-gender cohort across the full primary age range up to 11. Its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', so it is a non-faith community school.
