About Chadsmoor Community Infants and Nursery School

Chadsmoor Community Infants and Nursery School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, and it serves a community with notably high levels of disadvantage. With 153 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is operating below its physical limit, yet it is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 59 applications for 45 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.31, and made 42 offers to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 41.8%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and signals a catchment with considerable socio-economic challenges. This context makes the school’s recent Ofsted improvement all the more notable.
