About Nansledan School

Nansledan School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 122 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, 60 put Nansledan as their first preference, and 58 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though it’s worth noting that the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in April 2024, rated it Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision was also rated Good. Headteacher Vicky French leads a primary school of 359 pupils, with capacity for 420, so there is some room for growth. The school serves a mixed cohort, with 19.8 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
