About Brockton CofE Primary School

Brockton CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Shropshire, currently teaching 56 pupils against a capacity of 90, meaning it operates at just over 60% of its potential size. Despite this spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 17 applications for 12 places and offering all 12 first-preference spots — a 1. 42 oversubscription ratio that suggests strong local demand from families who want this particular village school. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is not stated in the data, so it is difficult to compare directly with national averages, but the school’s small roll and Church of England character point to a close-knit, faith-influenced intake. With a nursery provision on site, Brockton also serves families with younger children, feeding into its own Reception class.
