About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

If you are a parent considering St Mary's Catholic Primary School, the numbers suggest a school that local families are keen to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 24 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. All 8 of those places went to first-preference applicants, which indicates that for those who listed it as their top choice, it worked out. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary in South Staffordshire, with a headteacher named Jennifer-Claire Lockley. It is a small school, with 79 pupils on roll against a capacity of 106, so there is some physical space, but demand clearly outstrips supply. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged 2 and above, which may be a factor for families looking for a continuous early-years setting.
