About Hinstock Primary School

Hinstock Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Shropshire, currently educating 126 pupils against a capacity of 119, meaning it is slightly over its official limit. The school serves a community where 13. 2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less deprived intake compared with many schools nationally. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 19 applications for 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 46. Of those, 12 were first-preference applications, and 12 first-preference offers were made, indicating that nearly all families who put it first secured a place, but the overall competition means some applicants missed out. The school has nursery provision for children from age two, so it serves families from the earliest years through to the end of primary.
