About St Luke's CofE (Aided) Primary School

St Luke's CofE (Aided) Primary School in Bassetlaw is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 180 children against a capacity of 210. That leaves around 30 spare places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 39 applications for 30 places, with 29 of those coming as first preferences. Only 28 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.3. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 13.3%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 12% but not dramatically so, suggesting a broadly mixed intake. The school has a Church of England character and is led by headteacher Peter Phillips. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, and it is not a boarding school.
