About Broken Cross Primary Academy and Nursery

Broken Cross Primary Academy and Nursery is a state-funded, mixed primary school in Cheshire East that currently has 227 pupils on roll, which is 17 above its official capacity of 210. That overspill is a practical signal of demand, and it's backed up by the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 46 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.42. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with 27 other families missing out, it's clearly a popular choice locally. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage — 45.9% of children are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with higher-than-average levels of economic need. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, which may be a factor in its appeal to local families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
