Rosehill Infant and Nursery School
About Rosehill Infant and Nursery School
Rosehill Infant and Nursery School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in Derby, and its intake data tells a clear story of a school in high demand. The school currently has 209 pupils on roll, well above its official capacity of 158, which suggests it is operating significantly over its intended size. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 45.7%, a figure that is notably high and indicates the school serves a community with considerable socio-economic challenges. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 64 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.13. Of those, 28 were first-preference applications, and exactly 28 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put Rosehill as their top choice secured a place. This combination of high FSM eligibility and oversubscription paints a picture of a school that is both a vital local resource and a popular choice among Derby families.
