About Sitwell Nursery & Infant School

Sitwell Nursery & Infant School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in Rotherham, currently home to 212 pupils against a capacity of 236, so there is a little room to grow. Its intake reflects a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 13.7%, compared with the national average for primary schools which typically sits higher. The school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 122 applications for just 60 places, with 70 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at just over two applicants per place, and only 56 first-preference offers were made, meaning a fair number of families who wanted a spot here missed out. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Kirstey Peart. It also offers nursery provision, which may be a factor for families looking for continuity from early years through to Key Stage 1.
