About Cambridge Road Community Primary and Nursery School

Parents considering Cambridge Road Community Primary and Nursery School will find a school that is clearly popular locally, with oversubscription figures that tell their own story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 71 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 63. That means nearly three families applied for every available spot, and all 26 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that for those who put it top of their list, the school delivers. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand implies a solid reputation among local families. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, and is non-religious. It has a nursery provision, which is a practical bonus for families with younger children. The headteacher is Donna Wellings, and the school operates within the Cheshire West and Chester local authority.
