About The Glapton Academy

The Glapton Academy is a popular choice among Nottingham families, with every one of its 23 first-preference applicants for the 2025/26 reception intake receiving an offer, despite the school being oversubscribed by a ratio of two applications for every place. This strong local demand is a clear signal of parent confidence, though the school does not publish a formal parent recommendation percentage. Headteacher Samantha Leek leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school has capacity for 330 pupils and currently enrols 301, so there is some breathing room, but the oversubscription figures suggest that securing a place is competitive. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2023, confirmed that it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since its previous graded inspection in 2013.
