About Marshbrook First School

Marshbrook First School in South Staffordshire is a state primary that is currently educating more pupils than its official capacity suggests. With 189 children on roll against a capacity of 150, the school is clearly in high demand locally. That demand is backed up by the numbers: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 71 applications for just 30 places, with 33 of those applications coming from first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2. 37, meaning nearly two and a half families compete for every place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 12. 2%, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. The school serves children from age 2 through to 9, and offers nursery provision, making it a genuine first-step option for families in the area. Headteacher Jamie Morgan leads a mixed-gender school with no religious character, and the school is part of the Staffordshire local authority.
