About St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Bloxwich

St Peter's Catholic Primary School in Bloxwich is a popular choice among local families, with 28 first-preference applications for its 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.76 applicants per place. The school received 51 total applications for those 29 spots, indicating strong demand. Parent satisfaction appears high, though specific parent-view survey data is not available in the school's records. The school, led by headteacher Kathleen Hinton, serves 229 pupils aged 3 to 11, with capacity for 262, so there is some room to grow. Around 30.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the school's inclusive intake. As a Roman Catholic state primary in Walsall, it offers a nursery provision for younger children, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed a Good rating, upgrading from a Requires Improvement judgement in its previous graded inspection back in 2013.
