About Brook Primary School

Brook Primary School in Dudley is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 5 to 11, currently home to 395 children against a capacity of 420. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 112 applications for 59 places, with 74 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.9, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.6%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school has a nursery provision attached, so some children will already be familiar with the setting before they start Reception. It is a non-religious school with no formal faith character, and the headteacher is Marie Fellows.
