About Redlands Primary and Nursery School

Redlands Primary and Nursery School in Bassetlaw is running at near-full capacity with 411 pupils against a school capacity of 410, which tells you it's a popular choice locally. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 28.9%, well above the national average and a clear signal of the community it serves. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 76 applications for just 26 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.92 to one. All 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning if you live close enough to put it top of your list, you stand a good chance. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age three through to eleven, with its own nursery provision on site. The headship is shared between Laura Hollinger and Mrs Gemma Willford, and the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 judged the school Good across all areas, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2022.
