Oak Meadow Primary School
About Oak Meadow Primary School
Oak Meadow Primary School in Wolverhampton is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, currently home to 418 pupils against a capacity of 420 — so it is running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 34.9%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and reflects the local demographic context of the area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 105 applications for 53 places, with 50 of those being first-preference applications. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.98, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. All 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, it is still accessible to families who put it first. The headteacher is Paul Lane, and the school has no religious character or nursery provision.
