About Maidensbridge Primary School

Maidensbridge Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 80 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67, meaning nearly three families applied for every spot. Of those, 32 put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. That kind of demand usually reflects strong word-of-mouth, and while the school doesn't publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the numbers speak for themselves. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 2 to 11, and sits in the Dudley borough of the West Midlands. It has a nursery provision, so children can start as early as two. With 232 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is running slightly over its official number, which is another sign of its pull. The headteacher is Katie Thomas, and the school has no religious character.
