Sedgeberrow CofE First School
About Sedgeberrow CofE First School
Sedgeberrow CofE First School is a Church of England primary in Wychavon, Worcestershire, and it’s running very close to capacity. With 174 pupils against a school capacity of 180, there’s barely a handful of spare places, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 48 applications for just 29 total places, with 33 of those applicants putting it as their first preference. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.66, meaning for every place available, more than one and a half families wanted it. The pupil body is notably less disadvantaged than the national average — just 6.9 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary figure of around 23 per cent nationally. The school serves children from age 3, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Philip Croke. It’s a mixed, non-boarding state school, and its Church of England character is woven into the facilities, which include a chapel.
