About Foley Park Primary Academy

Foley Park Primary Academy in Worcestershire is a state primary school that is currently running very close to its full capacity of 219 pupils, with 215 children on roll. This near-full occupancy makes sense given the clear demand for places: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 40 applications for just 24 places, with 20 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 1.67 applications per place, a solid signal that local families are keen to get in. The school’s intake is notably more diverse in terms of disadvantage than the national picture — 29.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national primary average of around 23%. That context matters for parents comparing schools, as it often correlates with the level of additional support a school provides. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 2, with nursery provision on site.
