Astley CofE Primary School
About Astley CofE Primary School
Astley CofE Primary School sends a strong signal to parents that it is a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, with 22 applications for 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.57. All 14 first-preference applicants received an offer, which is a reassuring sign for families who make it their top pick. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the fact that it is oversubscribed suggests a healthy level of local demand. The school is a Church of England primary in Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, with a small roll of 91 pupils against a capacity of 105, so classes are intimate. Headteacher Tracie Langfield leads a mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 11, and there is also nursery provision on site. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, which had rated it Requires Improvement.
