About St John's CofE (C) Primary School

St John's CofE (C) Primary School is a small Church of England primary in South Staffordshire, currently teaching 86 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning it has room to grow but remains a deliberately intimate setting. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16. 3%, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools and suggests a mixed catchment that isn't skewed heavily toward disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 22 applications for just 8 places, with all 8 first-preference families offered a spot. That works out at 2. 75 applications per place, a clear signal that local parents see this as a desirable option. The school's religious character likely plays a part, but the oversubscription ratio indicates that its reputation extends beyond the church community. With nursery provision on site, it also serves families from age three, which may explain some of the pressure on reception places.
