About Bridgemere CofE Primary School

Bridgemere CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Cheshire East, currently teaching 90 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning it operates below its full roll. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12. 2%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools but sits within a typical range for a mixed-intake village school. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 18 applications for just 6 places, with all 6 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3:1. This suggests a school that is popular locally but not yet at the point where every applicant is turned away.
