About Lawn Primary School

Parents considering Lawn Primary School will be reassured by the strong vote of confidence from local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 170 applications for just 59 places, making it heavily oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.88 applicants per place. Of those 170 applications, 56 were first-preference choices, and 53 of those families received an offer. This level of demand suggests a school that is well-regarded within the Derby community. While the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the oversubscription figures speak for themselves: families are actively choosing Lawn, and many who put it first are successful. The school is led by headteacher Lindsay Clark and caters for 435 pupils aged 4 to 11, operating very close to its full capacity of 436.
