About All Saints CofE (C) Primary School

All Saints CofE (C) Primary School is a small Church of England primary in East Staffordshire, part of the Staffordshire local authority. It ranks 4th out of 23 primary schools in the borough on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it comfortably in the top tier locally. The three schools that share the top ranking score in the area are St John's Catholic Primary School, Needwood CofE Primary School, and Woodseaves CE Primary Academy. With just 105 pupils on roll and a capacity of exactly 105, the school is full to the brim. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good overall, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2016. However, inspectors awarded Outstanding grades for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes, suggesting the school continues to excel in shaping confident, well-mannered children. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is Shobnall Primary & Nursery School, 4.7 km away.

Academically, All Saints performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 key stage 2 assessments, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Staffordshire LA average of 65%. Reading was a particular strength: every single pupil (100%) reached the expected standard, and 40% achieved the higher standard. Maths also impressed, with 90% at expected and 35% at the higher level, and an average scaled score of 107. Writing saw 95% at expected and 15% at higher. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 5.5% of all primaries on the combined expected measure, and in the West Midlands it sits in the top 5%. The school's overall ranking score of 85 reflects consistently strong results across the three core subjects, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three (10%) is more modest.

The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 48 applications for just 16 places, a ratio of 3:1, with all 16 first-preference applicants offered a place. Facilities include a Forest School, library, ICT suite, gymnasium, sensory room and a chapel, plus clubs such as chess, choir, eco club and book club. Sports on offer are netball, football, cricket and gymnastics. The school has identified SEND provisions for social, emotional and mental health needs, and for speech, language and communication. With a very low free school meals rate of 2.9%, the intake is notably less disadvantaged than many local schools. All Saints suits families who want a small, full, church-affiliated primary with strong academic outcomes, a calm and purposeful atmosphere, and a clear focus on personal development — but they will need to apply early given the competition for places.
