About St Peter's CofE Academy Alton

St Peter's CofE Academy Alton is a small Church of England primary school in Staffordshire Moorlands that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 17 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.7. All 10 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, families who put it first stand a good chance. The school has a capacity of 73 but currently has only 52 pupils on roll, so there is room to grow. Just 4.3 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably low. The school does not publish a parent view survey result, so we cannot report a recommendation percentage, but the oversubscription figures alone indicate that it is well-regarded in the local area.
