About Bishop Rawle CofE Primary School

Bishop Rawle CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Staffordshire Moorlands, currently teaching 150 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning there is room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29.3%, which is notably higher than the national primary average and signals a school serving a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 38 applications for just 13 places, with all 13 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That works out at nearly three applications per place, a clear sign that local families are keen to get in. The school is mixed-gender and caters for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Its religious character as a Church of England school will appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting, though the data does not specify any formal admissions criteria beyond the standard local authority process.
