About New Pastures Primary School

New Pastures Primary School in Doncaster is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 29 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.71, and all 17 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This level of demand suggests strong parent confidence, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage to confirm that directly. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has a capacity of 280 and currently enrols 258 pupils, so there is a little breathing room, but the oversubscription figures show that getting a place is competitive. Headteacher Sarah Hall leads a school that has clearly turned a corner, as its most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2024 rated it Good across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
