About Alderman Bolton Primary School

Alderman Bolton Primary School sits within Warrington local authority, where it ranks 8th out of 55 primary schools — comfortably inside the top 10. The three highest-ranked peers in the area are Bruche Primary School Academy, Stretton St Matthew's CofE Primary School, and Chapelford Village Primary School, all of which score higher on the same KS2 expected standard metric. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 2 to 11, with no religious character. It has a nursery provision and is led by headteacher Sarah Morris. With 299 pupils on roll against a capacity of 334, the school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 47 total applications for 30 places, with 32 of those as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.57 suggests strong local demand, and the school's Good Ofsted rating — confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2022 — reinforces its standing in the community.
