About John Clifford Primary School

John Clifford Primary School in Broxtowe is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, and it is running very close to full capacity with 387 pupils against a school capacity of 390. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.1%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is extremely strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 114 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.07. All 28 offers went to first-preference applicants, meaning that securing a place here is highly competitive and that local families clearly rank it as their top choice. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are handled by the local authority on a standard catchment basis, and the nursery provision means children can join from age 3.
