About Pendock CofE Primary School

Pendock CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Malvern Hills area of Worcestershire, currently teaching 46 pupils against a capacity of 56. That leaves around a fifth of its places unfilled, which is notable given the school is officially oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry. With 12 applications for just 4 reception places, and all 4 first-preference families receiving offers, demand is clearly concentrated at the entry point. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 15.9%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 14% but not dramatically so, suggesting a mixed catchment with some economic diversity. The school offers nursery provision for children from age 3, so families looking for a single-site journey from early years through to Year 6 will find that continuity appealing. Headteacher Hannah Moon leads a setting where the small roll means children are known individually, and the Church of England character is woven into daily life.
