About St Peter's Primary School

St Peter's Primary School is a state primary in Herefordshire, County of, currently educating 201 pupils against a capacity of 210, so it is running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27.6%, which is notably higher than the national average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 30 applications for 22 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.36 applicants per place. All 22 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which means that while the school is popular, families who put it first have a good chance of getting in. The school has nursery provision for children from age three, and its intake is mixed gender with no religious character. Headteacher Martin Farmer leads a school that, based on its intake profile, is clearly a central choice for local families.
