About Onny CofE (A) Primary School
Onny CofE (A) Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Shropshire, currently teaching 94 pupils against a capacity of 105, leaving a handful of spare places. Its intake reflects a slightly higher-than-average level of disadvantage for a rural primary: 14. 8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. The school is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it offered 7 total places and received 21 applications, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 3 to 1. All 7 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with 14 families missing out, demand significantly outstrips supply. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age 2, which may give local families a foot in the door. As a voluntary-aided CofE school, its admissions criteria will prioritise church connection alongside sibling and catchment factors.
