About Sutton-On-Trent Primary and Nursery School

Sutton-On-Trent Primary and Nursery School is a state primary in Nottinghamshire that currently educates 126 pupils, just below its capacity of 140. The school serves a community where 11.6% of children qualify for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less deprived intake than many peers. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 22 applications for just 10 places, with all 10 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 2.2 to 1 signals that local families view it favourably, though the school isn't among the most oversubscribed in the area. The school has a nursery provision for three-year-olds, which feeds into the main school, and is mixed-gender with no religious character. Its headteacher is Jennifer Hutchinson, who has been leading the school through a period of improvement.
