About Alveley Primary School

Alveley Primary School is a state primary in Shropshire that runs very close to full capacity, with 117 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 119. That near-full picture is backed up by the school’s admission data for 2025/26, which shows it was oversubscribed: 20 first-preference applications were received for 20 places, with three additional applications taking total demand to 23. The school’s free school meal rate sits at 23.6%, which is noticeably above the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children from age 4 to 11, with nursery provision also on site. Its headteacher is P O'Malley. The school is located in the Shropshire local authority area, and its intake profile — a small, full school with a significant FSM cohort — points to a tight-knit community school serving a local population that values its place.
