Victoria Primary School
About Victoria Primary School
Victoria Primary School in Nottingham is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11 that currently serves 303 pupils against a capacity of 401, meaning it has around a quarter of its places unfilled. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s intake profile: 48.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear signal that the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage. Despite that, demand is strong. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 47 applications for just 21 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.24 to one. Seventeen of those applications were first preferences, and all 17 received offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, it’s not yet so oversubscribed that local families are routinely turned away. The school is mixed, non-religious, and led by headteacher Anna Froggatt. It also has a nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
