About St Teresa's Catholic Primary Academy

St Teresa's Catholic Primary Academy is a smaller than average state primary in Wolverhampton, with 169 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. The school serves a community with significantly higher than typical levels of disadvantage: 53.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 24%. Despite this, demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 24 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.18. Seven of those applications were first-preference choices, and seven offers were made to first-preference families. The school is Roman Catholic, and while the data doesn't specify admissions criteria, the faith character is likely a factor in how places are allocated. Headteacher Stacy McHale leads a school that has clearly built a reputation locally, given the level of competition for places.
