About Stoney Middleton CofE (C) Primary School

Stoney Middleton CofE (C) Primary School is a very small Church of England primary in the Derbyshire Dales, currently home to just 15 pupils against a capacity of 47. That means the school is operating at less than a third of its physical capacity, which is striking for a state primary. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 46.7%, more than double the national average of around 23%, suggesting the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage. Despite the low roll, demand is actually slightly ahead of supply for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 5 applications for just 3 available places, with all 3 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.67 indicates that while the school isn't bursting at the seams, it has a loyal local following. Headteacher Andrea Tomlinson leads a mixed-gender, non-selective primary that also offers nursery provision for children from age 3.
