About Claines CofE Primary School

Claines CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Worcestershire that is running very close to full capacity, with 207 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.1 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 84 applications for just 29 places, with 37 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at nearly three applications for every available place, and all 29 offers went to first-preference families. The school is clearly a popular choice in the Wychavon area, and its Church of England designation may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting, though the data does not indicate any particular admissions priority for churchgoers.
