About Moseley Park

Moseley Park is a mixed, non-denominational secondary school in Wolverhampton that is currently running close to capacity, with 1,075 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 1,170. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 49.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and reflects the local context of the Wolverhampton area. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 494 applications for 197 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.51. Of those, 192 were first-preference applications, and 159 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition suggests that Moseley Park is a popular choice among local families, and its status as one of only two secondary schools in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted further explains why it is so heavily oversubscribed.
