About Pye Green Academy

Pye Green Academy is a state primary school in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, that is currently running above its official capacity. With 439 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly a popular choice among local families. That popularity is backed up by the admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 145 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.42, and only 49 of those places went to first-preference applicants out of 56 who put it top of their list. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.5%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still significant enough to suggest the school serves a mixed catchment. The school is non-denominational, co-educational, and includes a nursery provision for children from age three. Headteacher Sarah Yates leads a mixed-gender, all-through primary that draws from the local community and appears to be a first-choice destination for many families in the area.
