About St Laurences CofE Primary School

St Laurences CofE Primary School in Coventry is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is a school in high demand. With 412 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is essentially full, and the admission data for the 2025/26 intake confirms this: the school received 87 applications for just 44 places, an oversubscription ratio of nearly 2:1. All 40 first-preference applicants were offered places, meaning that while getting a first-choice spot is possible, families listing it lower down face stiff competition. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage; 35.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, significantly higher than the national average for primary schools. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data does not specify whether this influences admissions criteria. The headteacher is Michelle Cuskelly, who leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating across its recent inspections.
