About Suckley Primary School

Suckley Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running above its official capacity. The school has 87 pupils on roll against a capacity of 80, which is a clear sign of local demand. That demand is confirmed by the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 16 applications for 11 places, with all 11 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.45. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.8%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools but not dramatically so, suggesting a broadly mixed catchment. The school sits in the Malvern Hills borough within Worcestershire, and its headteacher is Helen Field. It has no religious character and no nursery provision, so children typically join in Reception and leave at the end of Year 6.
