Great Hucklow CE Primary: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 1 families put Great Hucklow CE Primary as their first choice and 8 named it as one of their preferences, for 1 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 1 first choices in 2021, against 1 in 2026.
Across Derbyshire, 95% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Derbyshire lodged 153 appeals against primary school offers; 90 reached a hearing and 9 succeeded (10% of those heard).
