About St Richard's CofE First School

St Richard's CofE First School sits within Worcestershire local authority, a mixed Church of England primary for children aged 5 to 10. Among the 180 primary schools in the LA, it competes with well-regarded neighbours like Inkberrow Primary School, Hanley Swan St Gabriel's with St Mary's CofE Primary School, and Malvern Wyche CofE Primary School, which rank as the top three peers in the area. The school is located in the Wychavon borough and is led by headteacher Christina Hall. With 309 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, it is not yet full, though demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for 43 places, with 41 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. Just over a quarter of its pupils (26.2 per cent) are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and suggests a relatively diverse intake in terms of socio-economic background.
