About Audenshaw Primary School

Audenshaw Primary School is a state primary in Tameside that is currently running at full capacity, with 211 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 90 applications for 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. Of those, 33 families put it as their first preference, and all 30 first-preference offers were taken up. This level of competition is striking for a school that currently holds a Requires Improvement rating, and it suggests that local families value what the school offers despite its recent Ofsted judgement.
