About Callow End CofE Primary School

Callow End CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Malvern Hills area of Worcestershire, currently teaching 86 pupils against a capacity of 105. That leaves some headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 17 applications for 12 places, with all 12 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.42. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.5%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. The school serves children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Samantha Curtis. Its Church of England character is reflected in the presence of a chapel among its facilities, alongside music rooms, an ICT suite, art studios, a gymnasium and a sports hall — a decent range for a school of this size.
