About Brookhurst Primary School

Brookhurst Primary School in Wirral is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, currently home to 211 children against a capacity of 242, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.4%, which is worth noting in the local context, though a direct LA average for FSM isn't available here. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 79 applications for just 30 places, with 31 of those as first preferences and 28 offers made to first-preference applicants. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 2.63, meaning nearly three children applied for every place. The headteacher is Stephen Williams, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, so it can take children from age three, which may be a practical consideration for parents looking for a single-site option through to Year 6.
