Church Aston Infant School
About Church Aston Infant School
Church Aston Infant School is a small state primary in Telford and Wrekin, taking children from age 5 to 7. With 51 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60, it is running below its maximum but is clearly in high demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 62 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.13. Only 8 first-preference offers were made, so competition is stiff. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 9.8%, which is relatively low compared with the national average for primary schools, suggesting a fairly affluent local catchment. The school has no nursery provision and no religious character, so its appeal is purely about the early years education it offers. Headteacher Sarah Pitt leads a team that has maintained a Good Ofsted rating since its most recent graded inspection in 2014, with an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirming the school remains Good.
