About Monyash CofE Primary School

Monyash CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Derbyshire Dales, currently teaching 49 pupils against a capacity of 63. That leaves around a fifth of places empty, yet the school is oversubscribed for 2025/26: it received 11 applications for 8 places, with all 8 first-preference families offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1.38 suggests a modest but real local demand, particularly from families who prioritise this school as their first choice. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.5%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. With a mixed intake of boys and girls aged 4 to 11, and a Church of England character, Monyash is a village primary that draws from a relatively narrow catchment but still sees more applicants than it can accommodate.
