Pedmore CE Primary School
About Pedmore CE Primary School
Pedmore CE Primary School is a state primary in Dudley that is running very close to full capacity, with 220 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 222. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 6.4%, which is notably low compared with the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent local intake. The school is clearly in high demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 111 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.11. Of those applicants, 25 put Pedmore as their first preference, and all 25 were offered a place. This level of competition places it among the more sought-after primaries in Dudley, and its Church of England character may be a factor for some families, though the school is open to all. The headteacher is David Dunn, and the school serves children from age 5 to 11.
