Crown Meadow First School & Nursery: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 50 families put Crown Meadow First School & Nursery as their first choice and 103 named it as one of their preferences, for 58 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 67 in 2021 to 50 in 2026, while places went from 60 to 58.
Across Worcestershire, 94% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Worcestershire lodged 51 appeals against primary school offers; 32 reached a hearing and 3 succeeded (9.4% of those heard).
