About Kirk Langley CofE Primary School

Kirk Langley CofE Primary School is a small village primary in Amber Valley, operating comfortably below its capacity of 105 with 87 pupils on roll. That spare capacity is deceptive, though: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 25 applications for just 15 places, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.67 applicants per spot. Twelve of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand from families who want a Church of England primary with a distinctly rural feel. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11.5%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and reflects the relatively affluent catchment. With a mixed intake of boys and girls from ages 4 to 11, and no nursery or sixth form provision, this is a straightforward, single-form entry primary that serves its immediate community — and the oversubscription numbers suggest it’s a popular choice among those who live nearby.
