About Aspull Church Primary School

Aspull Church Primary School is a state-funded, mixed Church of England/Methodist primary in Wigan, currently home to 200 pupils against a capacity of 210. That near-full roll suggests a settled local reputation, and the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 77 applications for 30 places, with 38 families listing it as their first preference and 28 of those receiving offers. That works out at roughly 2.6 applications per place, a strong signal of popularity in the area. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 12%, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider Wigan context. The school’s religious character as a joint Church of England and Methodist foundation may be a draw for local families, though the data doesn’t specify any faith-based admissions criteria.
