About Langold Dyscarr Community School

Langold Dyscarr Community School is a state primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, and it is effectively full: its 307 pupils match a capacity of 306, leaving almost no spare places. That demand is reflected in its admission data for 2025/26, where the school received 53 applications for 40 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.33, with 38 first-preference offers made. The pupil body is notably more disadvantaged than the national average, with 26.3% eligible for free school meals, compared with around 23% nationally. The school serves a mixed community and offers nursery provision for children aged three and above. Its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', so there is no faith-based admissions criteria. The headteacher, Alex Steadman, leads a school that has clearly built a strong local reputation, given the level of first-choice demand, and the intake reflects a broad socioeconomic spread typical of a village primary in this part of the East Midlands.
