About Moons Moat First School

Moons Moat First School sits within Worcestershire local authority, one of 180 primary schools in the county. It is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 9, with a nursery on site. The school is not among the top-ranked primaries in the area — the highest-scoring local peers include Inkberrow Primary School and Hanley Swan St Gabriel's with St Mary's CofE Primary School, both on 88, and Malvern Wyche CofE Primary School on 86. Moons Moat is a smaller-than-average school, with 190 pupils against a capacity of 280, and a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 27.6%. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: 52 applications were received for 22 places, with 20 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.36. This suggests strong local demand, particularly from families who live close enough to make it their first choice.
