About Anson CofE Primary School

Anson CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Stafford, currently home to 97 pupils against a capacity of 105, so it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 35 applications for 19 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.84, with 21 of those applications coming as first preferences. All 19 first-preference offers were taken up, indicating that local families are keen to secure a spot here. The school is mixed and non-selective, catering for children aged 4 to 11, and its religious character as a Church of England school may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting within the state system.
