About Perton Primary Academy

Perton Primary Academy is a state-funded, mixed primary school in South Staffordshire that currently educates 230 pupils, slightly above its official capacity of 225. This oversubscription is no surprise given the demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 95 applications for just 51 places, with 34 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio of 1. 86 means nearly two families compete for every spot, a clear signal of local popularity. The school serves a community where 18. 1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure worth noting against the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a slightly more affluent intake than the country as a whole. Headteacher Victoria Jackson leads a school that also offers nursery provision for children from age two, making it a genuine early-years option for local families. The school’s religious character is listed as not applicable, so it draws from a broad cross-section of the community rather than a specific faith group.
