About Branston Locks Primary and Nursery School

Branston Locks Primary and Nursery School is a small state primary in East Staffordshire, with just 49 pupils on roll against a capacity of 472, meaning it is operating at roughly 10% of its physical space. That low occupancy is striking given the local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 66 applications for 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.28, and made 27 first-preference offers. So while the school is clearly popular among local families, its current pupil count suggests either a recent expansion of capacity or a cohort that hasn't yet filled the building. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 3%, well below the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school is mixed, non-religious, and includes a nursery for children aged three and up, which may be drawing families who want an early start in a small, oversubscribed setting.
