About Henhurst Ridge Primary Academy

Henhurst Ridge Primary Academy in East Staffordshire is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is currently a school in demand. With 322 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is not yet full, but the oversubscription data for the 2025/26 intake tells a different story. The school offered 55 total places and received 86 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.56. Of those 86 applications, 46 were first-preference choices, and all 46 received an offer. This suggests that while the school has some physical room to grow, its reception places are highly sought after by local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 21.3%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and gives a clear picture of the socioeconomic mix of the intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Charlotte Hopkins.
