Haughton St Giles CofE Primary Academy
About Haughton St Giles CofE Primary Academy
Haughton St Giles CofE Primary Academy is a small Church of England primary in Stafford, currently teaching 101 pupils against a capacity of 120, so it is not yet full but clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 37 applications for just 15 places, with 17 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 47. That level of competition suggests a strong local reputation. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12. 9 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and indicates a relatively affluent intake. The school is mixed, takes children from age three through to eleven, and offers nursery provision, so it suits families looking for a single-site journey from early years right through to Year 6. Victoria Hulme is the headteacher, and the school’s religious character is Church of England, which may appeal to families wanting a faith-based setting.
