About The St Augustine's Academy

The St Augustine's Academy is a state primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, and it's a school that families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 65 applications for just 36 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.81 applicants per spot. Of those, 33 were first-preference applications, and exactly 33 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place. The school currently has 429 pupils against a capacity of 480, so there is some headroom, but demand is strong. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 31.9%, which is notably higher than the national primary average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is non-religious in character, despite its name, and is led by headteacher Christopher Hind. It also has a nursery provision, taking children from age three.
