Admissions

Can I get my child into this school?

We have no published last-distance figure for this school, so we cannot say how close you would have needed to live last year. Places may be given on other criteria, such as faith, selection or siblings: check the school's admissions policy. We do not draw catchment maps.

This school is in Wolverhampton. You apply through the education LA where you live, even if that is a different council.

Applications and offers

Primary · Reception · 2026/27

101 applications named this school. 56 put it first.

Offers by preference

1st preference: 56 offers from 56 applications

Each child gets one offer: the highest preference with a place for them. Lower-preference applicants often got a higher choice elsewhere.

57 of the 59 places went to families who named this school.

Published preference and offer counts from national offer day. Not a prediction of whether you will get a place.

DfE did not publish reading, writing or maths progress for 2023/24 or 2024/25. These year groups had no KS1 assessments (cancelled in 2020 and 2021), so progress could not be calculated. Attainment figures above are still published.
