About Grangehurst Primary School

Grangehurst Primary School in Coventry is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 415 pupils against a school capacity of 420. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27.5%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and signals a catchment serving families with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 96 total applications for 60 places, with 55 of those applications coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio of 1.63 confirms that Grangehurst is a popular choice locally, and 54 first-preference offers were made, meaning most families who put it top of their list secured a place. The school does not have a religious character, so its appeal is broad rather than faith-based.
