Killamarsh Infant School
About Killamarsh Infant School
If you're looking for a school where parents feel their child is genuinely happy and well supported, Killamarsh Infant School presents a compelling picture. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period up to September 2025, a striking 94% of the 33 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed up by the detail: 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 97% felt their child does well at the school. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 admissions round, Killamarsh received 71 applications for just 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.78. Every one of the 40 first-preference applicants was offered a place, but with 31 further applications from families who didn't list it first, demand clearly outstrips supply. This combination of strong parental endorsement and high local demand suggests a school that has built a solid reputation in North East Derbyshire.
