Morton Primary Academy

About Morton Primary Academy

Morton Primary Academy is a small state primary in North East Derbyshire, with 102 pupils on roll against a capacity of 104 — so it's essentially full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 25.5%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools (around 23%) and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 30 applications for just 12 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.5 to one. All 10 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning families who put Morton first were successful, but the overall numbers show it's a popular choice locally. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 5 to 11. It has no nursery provision and no sixth form, so it's a straightforward primary feeding into local secondary schools.
