About Bruche Primary School Academy

Bruche Primary School Academy is a state-funded mixed primary in Warrington that is currently running well above its official capacity. With 243 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 210, the school is clearly in high demand locally. That demand is confirmed by the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 68 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. All 27 first-preference applicants were offered places, meaning the school is a realistic first choice for families who live close enough. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.9%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 17%, suggesting a broadly representative intake for a Warrington school. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, so families can start their child’s journey here early.
