About Oldswinford C of E Primary School

Oldswinford C of E Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 166 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.77, meaning nearly three families applied for every spot. Of those, 55 first-preference families were offered a place, which suggests that while competition is strong, a significant number of those who put it first were successful. The school's reputation is reflected in its Good Ofsted rating from 2023, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. The previous inspection in 2010 had awarded an Outstanding overall, so the current rating represents a slight change, but the ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. With a relatively low percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals at 8%, the school draws from a broadly advantaged catchment, which may contribute to its appeal.
