About St Peter's CofE Primary Academy

St Peter's CofE Primary Academy in Cannock Chase is a larger-than-average primary, with 466 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, suggesting the school is operating above its intended size. Around 15% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many state schools nationally. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 94 applications for 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.57, and all 55 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This suggests the school is a popular first choice among local families. The school is a Church of England academy, and its headteacher is Genevieve Saunders. It offers nursery provision for children from age three, making it a viable option for families seeking continuity from early years through to the end of primary.
