About Hanbury CofE First School

Hanbury CofE First School is a small Church of England primary in Worcestershire that, on paper, looks like a solidly performing school but one that doesn't shout about its results from the rooftops. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 61, and while Hanbury's own KS2 data isn't provided in the available figures, the school's overall profile suggests it's a safe bet rather than a standout outlier. Where it does distinguish itself is in its oversubscription figures: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications, with 36 first-preference requests. That's a ratio of just over three applicants per place, which tells you local families are keen to get in, even if the headline metrics don't place it among the top-ranked primaries in the area like Inkberrow Primary or Hanley Swan St Gabriel's.
