Crudgington Primary School
About Crudgington Primary School
Crudgington Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 41 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.41, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. Of those 41 applicants, 15 listed Crudgington as their first preference, and all 15 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth reputation in the Telford and Wrekin area. The school is led by headteacher Hannah Gharu and currently has 129 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 156, so there is some room for growth. Around 11.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is in line with the national average for primary schools. The school does not have a nursery provision, so children join in Reception at age four.
