Barton Moss Community Primary School
About Barton Moss Community Primary School
Ofsted’s Parent View survey for Barton Moss Community Primary School, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, shows that 85% of the 26 parents who responded would recommend the school. That’s a strong signal, and it’s backed up by the fact that the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 37 applications for 27 places – a ratio of 1. 37 applicants per place. 26 of those applications were first-preference choices, and 26 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that most families who wanted a place got one. The school is a state primary in Salford, for children aged 3 to 11, and is non-denominational. It currently has 222 pupils on roll, which is slightly above its official capacity of 210, so it’s clearly a popular choice locally. Headteacher Claire Woolley leads the school, which has a nursery provision attached, making it a natural option for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
