About The Bromley-Pensnett Primary School

The Bromley-Pensnett Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 67 applications chasing just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.23. Of those 67 applicants, 32 put the school as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests parents in Dudley see something they like here, even though the school doesn't publish a formal parent-view survey result. The school is led by headteacher Ian Parker and caters for children from age 3 through to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It's a state-funded, mixed-gender primary with no religious character, and it currently has 240 pupils on roll against a capacity of 446, so there is room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is high at 50.4%, which is worth noting for context.
