About Nash Mills Church of England Primary School

Nash Mills Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Dacorum, Hertfordshire, with a current roll of 225 pupils against a capacity of 236, meaning it is very close to full. The school serves a community where 13. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 110 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3. 67. Of those, 49 were first-preference applications, and all 30 places went to first-preference families. This level of competition signals that the school is a popular choice locally, particularly among families who prioritise a Church of England ethos. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, which may help families secure a place before the main reception intake.
