About Springbank Academy

Springbank Academy is a state primary school in Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, that currently educates 217 pupils against a capacity of 250, meaning it has some room to grow. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 41.7% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. This context makes the school’s popularity all the more striking — for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 35 applications for just 21 places, with 17 of those being first-preference offers. That oversubscription ratio of 1.67 signals strong local demand, even though the school ranks 153rd out of 286 primary schools in the local authority. It is a non-religious, mixed-gender school for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Adam Lumley.
