About Keyworth Primary and Nursery School

Keyworth Primary and Nursery School is a state-funded, mixed primary school in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, serving children from age 2 to 11. It currently has 173 pupils on roll, which is 15 above its official capacity of 158, suggesting the school is operating at high occupancy. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 42.2%, a figure significantly above the national average for primary schools, indicating a catchment with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand for places is exceptionally strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 58 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.14 to one. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the sheer volume of total applications means many families living outside the immediate catchment are likely to miss out. The school has a nursery provision, which feeds into the main school, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a fully non-denominational community school.
