About Scarcliffe Primary School

Scarcliffe Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 44 applications for just 13 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.38. Of those 44 applications, 21 were first-preference choices, and all 13 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Bolsover area. The school is a small, mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with 89 pupils on roll against a capacity of 91. It is a non-religious school, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2019 rated it Good overall, with Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and the quality of education. The previous inspection in 2011 had rated it Outstanding, so the Good rating represents a step down, but the school has held a solid Good for its most recent graded inspection.
