About Pelsall Village School

Pelsall Village School is a popular choice among local families, with 27 first-preference applications for its 27 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning every child who put it first secured a spot. However, the school received 58 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.15, so it is clearly in demand. While we don't have a specific parent recommendation percentage from the data, the fact that the school is oversubscribed suggests a positive local reputation. Headteacher Glyn Bagley leads this mixed, state primary for ages 3 to 11, which also offers nursery provision. The school has a significant proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 45.2%, well above the national average, and its capacity of 330 currently houses 278 pupils, leaving some room for growth.
