About New Bolsover Primary and Nursery School

New Bolsover Primary and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 37 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.95, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is accessible. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included here, the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. Headteacher Gillian Clubbs leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school serves a community where 54.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and the total roll of 221 pupils is below the school’s capacity of 280, leaving some room for growth.
