About Church Preen Primary School

Church Preen Primary School is a small state primary in Shropshire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 17 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 13, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. All 8 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so being first choice matters here. The school is led by headteacher Marilyn Hunt and has no religious character. With only 36 pupils on roll against a capacity of 91, it is significantly undersubscribed in terms of total numbers, but the oversubscription for Reception places suggests strong local demand for the early years. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024 rated it Good overall, with Good across all categories including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2016, but the school remains well-regarded.
