About St Chad's CofE Primary School

Parents at St Chad's CofE Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 94% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure comes from 48 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, and it's backed up by strong individual scores: 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 98% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular in the local area too — for 2025/26 admissions, it received 43 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.53. Of those applications, 16 were first-preference choices, and 16 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it top got in, but competition for those places is stiff. The school is a Church of England primary in Lichfield, part of Staffordshire local authority, and has a nursery provision for children from age three.
