Winster CofE Primary School

About Winster CofE Primary School

Winster CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Derbyshire Dales, and its pupil numbers are strikingly low. With just 7 children on roll against a capacity of 49, the school is operating at roughly 14% of its potential size, which is an unusually low occupancy rate even for a rural village school. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 28.6%, notably higher than the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This suggests the school serves a catchment with above-average economic disadvantage, despite its picturesque Peak District location. There is no admissions data in the school's records to indicate whether it is oversubscribed, but given the spare capacity, it is likely that the school has places available for families moving into the area or seeking a smaller setting. The school is mixed-sex and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery provision.
