About Tenbury CofE Primary School

Tenbury CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in the Malvern Hills area of Worcestershire, currently home to 233 pupils against a capacity of 242. That near-full roll suggests a settled local reputation, and the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 32 applications for 22 places, with all 22 first-preference families offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1.45 confirms it’s a popular choice. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14.7%, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. The school offers nursery provision for children from age two, feeding into the main school up to Year 6. Headteacher Kerri Phelps leads a mixed-gender, state-funded primary that, given its Church of England character, will appeal particularly to families looking for a faith-based setting within the state system.
