About Hadnall Church of England Primary School

Hadnall Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Shropshire, currently operating very close to its capacity of 120 pupils with 118 on roll. The school serves a notably less disadvantaged intake than the national average, with just 2.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for just 15 places, with 22 of those applications coming as first preferences. That works out at over three applications per place, and the school was officially oversubscribed, offering all 15 places to first-preference families. This level of competition suggests a school that local parents are actively seeking out, and the figures align with its reputation as a high-performing village primary. The school is led by headteacher Finola Jackson and has a Church of England character, though the data doesn't specify any particular religious admissions criteria.
