About Sutton-Cum-Lound CofE School

Sutton-Cum-Lound CofE School is a small Church of England primary in Bassetlaw, and the numbers suggest it’s a school that local families actively want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, with 15 applications for just 10 places — a ratio of 1.5 applicants per spot. Nine of those applications were first-preference choices, and nine offers went out to first-preference families, meaning almost every family who put it top got in, but there was still competition for the remaining place. With only 91 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school isn’t bursting at the seams, but demand clearly outstrips supply. ParentView data isn’t available in this dataset, so we can’t report a recommend percentage, but the oversubscription alone signals a solid local reputation. The school also offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for a single setting from age four upwards.
