About Chadsmead Primary Academy

Chadsmead Primary Academy in Lichfield is a state primary school that currently serves 200 pupils against a total capacity of 420, meaning there is significant room for growth. The school's intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 35.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average of around 23% and likely higher than the Staffordshire local authority average. This suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic deprivation. Despite this, demand is strong. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 37 applications for just 18 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2.06. All 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place, indicating that while competition exists, families who prioritise the school are likely to secure a spot. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged three and above, which may help families integrate into the school community early.
