Snape Wood Primary and Nursery School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2025 entry, 8 families put Snape Wood Primary and Nursery School as their first choice and 15 named it as one of their preferences, for 8 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2025 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 16 in 2020 to 8 in 2025, while places went from 20 to 8.
Across Nottingham, 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 Nottingham lodged 548 appeals against primary school offers; 319 reached a hearing and 60 succeeded (18.8% of those heard).
