Schools in and around Averham (NG23)

Data updated October 2026

Applying for a school place in Averham (NG23)

School admissions are run by the local authority where you live; the school may be in a different local authority (that is, it goes by your address rather than the school's). This area covers more than one local authority — mainly Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

Apply through the council for the area where you live. In some parts of England there are two councils — a smaller district or borough council and a larger county council. Where that is the case, it is the county council that handles school admissions. If you are not sure which applies to you, use the “find your local authority” link above. Deadlines and admission rules vary by council, so always check its official pages. See also our guide to school admissions.

Caunton Dean Hole CofE Primary School comes out highest among Averham (NG23)'s primary schools on our score, followed by John Blow Primary School. The score is a rough shortlisting guide built from each school’s latest inspection, not an official Ofsted judgement, so open any school that interests you and read its full report.

For families considering special educational needs (SEN) support, primary schools here have on average about 13.8% of pupils on SEN support and about 4.3% with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan (national averages are roughly 13% and 4-5% respectively). This indicates how common SEN provision is locally — context only, not a measure of quality; always contact a school's SENCo to discuss your child's needs.

10 of these schools were inspected in the last five years. 2 were last inspected before 2016, so their published grade may not reflect the school today — always check the current Ofsted report before deciding.

On intake, about 16.5% of pupils at these primary schools are eligible for free school meals on average, close to the national average of roughly a quarter. This is background context to read results fairly — schools serving more disadvantage often add a lot of value that raw results understate — not a measure of quality, and not part of our score.

Primary schools here range from about 12 to 251 pupils (typically around 69), so there's a mix of smaller and larger settings to weigh up.

Based on the MHCLG Index of Multiple Deprivation, Averham (NG23) is around the national average for deprivation. Note this data relates to the wider neighbourhood, not the school. It is provided as context but is not a measure of the schools’ quality.
