About Bredon Hancock's Endowed CofE First School

Bredon Hancock's Endowed CofE First School is a Church of England primary in Wychavon that currently educates 138 pupils against a capacity of 180, leaving it with some room to grow. Its intake reflects a moderate level of disadvantage, with 13.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits below the national average for primary schools. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 53 applications for just 25 places, with 24 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 2.12 to one means demand significantly outstrips supply, and only 24 first-preference offers were made. The school serves children from age 4 to 10, meaning pupils move on before secondary school, and it operates under the Worcestershire local authority. Headteacher Zoe Newton-Smith leads a mixed-gender, state-funded school that has a religious character, and the school's facilities include a library, forest school, sports hall, music rooms, sensory room and chapel.
