About St Michael's CofE (A) First School

St Michael's CofE (A) First School is a Church of England primary in South Staffordshire that is running very close to full capacity, with 148 pupils against a school capacity of 150. That near-full roll is no surprise given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 27, and 29 of those 30 offers went to first-preference families. The school serves a relatively mixed catchment — 13. 5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national primary average but not dramatically so, and reflects a community that is neither especially affluent nor disadvantaged. As a first school taking children from age 3 to 9, it also offers nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to the end of Key Stage 2. The religious character is Church of England, so parents should expect a faith-based ethos woven into daily school life.
