About Shardlow Primary School

Shardlow Primary School is a small state primary in South Derbyshire that parents clearly want to get into. For its 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 21 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. All 7 of those offers went to first-preference families, which suggests that for those who live close enough, this is a school they actively choose rather than fall back on. The school has a total capacity of 104 and currently enrols 95 pupils, so it is running near full but not bursting at the seams. With 14.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is slightly above the national average for disadvantage, but the school’s popularity indicates it holds strong appeal across the local community.
