About Orston Primary School

Orston Primary School is a state primary in the Nottinghamshire village of Orston, and its intake data paints a clear picture of a school in demand. With 154 pupils on roll against a capacity of 175, the school is not yet full, but the oversubscription figures tell a different story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 59 applications for just 26 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 27, and all 26 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9. 7%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and serves the 5–11 age range under headteacher Nikki Crosby. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for behaviour and attitudes — a notable strength that parents often look for.
