About Red Hall Primary School

Red Hall Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 98 applications for just 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.63. Of those applicants, 51 put the school as their first preference, and 51 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who wanted it most got a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Dudley area, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage to back that up directly. The school is led by headteacher Helen Tomlinson and serves 423 pupils, which is slightly over its official capacity of 408. A significant 40.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, indicating a diverse intake. The school has a nursery provision for children from age three, and its non-religious character means it welcomes families of all backgrounds.
