About St Leonard's CofE First School

St Leonard's CofE First School is a Church of England primary in South Staffordshire that is currently oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local popularity. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 23 applications for just 15 places, with all 15 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. The school's capacity is 70, yet it currently has 78 pupils on roll, meaning it is operating above its official limit. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11. 5%, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with many state schools. The school serves children from age 3 to 9, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Claire Keay. Its religious character as a Church of England school may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting, though the school is open to all.
