About St Lukes CofE Primary School

St Luke’s CofE Primary School is a state-funded Church of England primary in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, with a mixed intake of 411 pupils against a capacity of 459 — meaning it’s running at roughly 90% full. That’s a healthy but not overcrowded roll, and the school’s popularity is clear from its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: 102 applications for 59 places, with 60 first-preference applications and 58 first-preference offers made. That works out at 1.73 applications per place, a solid oversubscription ratio that signals strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.5%, which is notably below the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively advantaged catchment. With a nursery provision attached, the school takes children from age three, feeding into a single-form entry pattern. The headteacher, Shaun Miles, leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating since at least its 2011 graded inspection, with the most recent ungraded visit in November 2021 confirming it remains Good.
