About St Filumena's Catholic Primary School

St Filumena's Catholic Primary School in Staffordshire Moorlands is a notably popular choice among local families, with 57 applications for just 23 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school is oversubscribed, and of those applications, 22 were first-preference offers, indicating strong demand from parents who actively want a place here. The school currently has 179 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is some room to grow, but the oversubscription ratio of 2.48 tells you that competition for places is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 7.3%, which is well below the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. As a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, the school's religious character is a key part of its identity, and the headteacher is Matthew Killeen.
