About Netherfield Infant School (Welbeck Federation of Schools)

Netherfield Infant School, part of the Welbeck Federation of Schools, is a small state primary in Mansfield with a current roll of 90 pupils against a capacity of 120, meaning it has room to grow. Its intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 47.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a strong indicator of the community it serves. Demand for places is high — for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 31 applications for just 17 total places, with all 17 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.82, suggesting a school that local families actively seek out despite its relatively small size. The school caters to children aged 3 to 7, with nursery provision available, and is mixed-gender with no religious character. Its headteacher is Julie Risher.
