Stanhope Primary and Nursery School
About Stanhope Primary and Nursery School
Stanhope Primary and Nursery School is a popular choice among local families, with 53 applications for just 27 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.96. Of those applications, 25 were first-preference offers, meaning every family who put it as their top choice secured a spot. The school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, so it's hard to gauge overall satisfaction directly, but the demand suggests it holds a strong reputation in Gedling. The school is a mixed, state primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Nicola Bridges. It serves a diverse intake, with 25.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the community it draws from.
