About Red Hill CofE Primary School

Red Hill CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Worcester that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 103 applications for just 54 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.91. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and of those, 52 were first-preference choices. The school is popular, but it’s not impossible to secure a place if you live nearby and put it top of your list. ParentView data isn’t available in the school’s records, but the high first-preference numbers suggest a strong local reputation. The school has a Church of England character, which may influence admissions criteria for some families, and it operates as a mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11. With 405 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it’s running close to full, which reinforces its standing as a sought-after option in the Worcester area.
