Berrybrook Primary School
About Berrybrook Primary School
Berrybrook Primary School in Wolverhampton is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is operating very close to full capacity with 233 pupils against a school capacity of 237. The intake reflects a significantly higher-than-average level of disadvantage: 61. 2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national average that typically sits around 23-24%. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 40 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 67. All 24 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is popular, families who put it first have a good chance of getting in. The school is non-religious and mixed, with a nursery on site, and is led by Executive Leader Darryl Asbury.
