About Spring Vale Primary School

Spring Vale Primary School in Wolverhampton is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11 that is currently running well above its official capacity. With 473 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 420, it 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 143 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38. Of those applicants, 69 put Spring Vale as their first preference, and 59 of those were offered a place. The school’s intake also reflects a significant level of disadvantage, with 43.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This suggests the school serves a community with higher-than-average economic need, and its ability to attract so many applications in that context is notable.
