About Stoke Prior Primary School

Stoke Prior Primary School is a small state primary in Herefordshire, currently educating 79 pupils against a capacity of 77, meaning it is operating slightly above its official limit. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.9%, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools and suggests a mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 30 applications for just 9 available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.33. All 9 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the remaining 21 families who expressed an interest will have looked elsewhere. This level of competition signals strong local reputation and a catchment area where families are keen to secure a spot, despite the school's relatively small size and recent inspection rating.
