About Intake Farm Primary School

Intake Farm Primary School is a state primary in Mansfield that is clearly in high demand locally. The school has 227 pupils on roll, exceeding its official capacity of 210, and for the 2025/26 reception intake it received 61 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.05. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers suggest many families miss out. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: 33% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 24%. This context matters when interpreting the school’s results, and it also points to a school that is well-integrated into its local area. The headteacher is Helen Cox, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age three, making it a natural choice for local families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
