Stanley Grove Primary and Nursery Academy
About Stanley Grove Primary and Nursery Academy
Stanley Grove Primary and Nursery Academy is a popular choice among local families, with a striking 137 applications for just 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 4.72, meaning nearly five families applied for every spot. Of those, 51 put the school as their first preference, and all 29 first-preference applicants were offered a place. The school does not have a published parent recommendation percentage in the data, but the sheer volume of applications suggests strong local confidence. Headteacher Joanne Frost leads a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school currently has 240 pupils against a capacity of 262, so there is a little breathing room, though not much. Just over 10% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average and hints at a relatively advantaged intake.
