Prospect Hill Infant and Nursery School
About Prospect Hill Infant and Nursery School
Prospect Hill Infant and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 90 applications for just 43 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.09. Every one of those 43 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests parents who want a place here tend to rank it top of their list. The school serves 201 pupils aged 3 to 7 in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, and is led by headteacher Louise Rose. Just over a fifth of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2024, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all scored a 2. That’s a consistent improvement from its previous inspection in 2015, where early years provision was also rated Good but the leadership and management grade was not separately recorded.
