About Greenacres Primary School

Greenacres Primary School in Shropshire is a small state primary with a current roll of 124 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is running at just under 60% full. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s high level of disadvantage: 57% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a strong signal of the community it serves. Despite the empty seats, the school is oversubscribed for 2025/26 reception places, with 21 applications for 12 spots and 11 first-preference offers made. That 1.75 oversubscription ratio suggests a local reputation that draws families in, even if the overall numbers are small. The school is non-denominational, mixed, and covers ages 3 to 11 with a nursery provision attached, so it takes children from the earliest stage. Headteacher Emily Kynaston leads a setting that feels both intimate and in demand, balancing a high-needs intake with genuine local popularity.
