About Cheadle Hulme Primary School
Cheadle Hulme Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary school in Stockport, serving children aged 4 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape where only seven of the 86 primary schools in the borough hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Among its closest academic peers, the school ranks behind Gatley Primary School, St John's Church of England Primary School, and Bradshaw Hall Primary School, the latter being the nearest Outstanding-rated school just one kilometre away. Despite this, Cheadle Hulme Primary holds a Good overall effectiveness grade from its most recent inspection in 2023, with two of its five assessed categories — early years provision and personal development — judged Outstanding. The school is led by headteacher Joe Maguire and operates without a religious character. It is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 353 families applied for just 60 places, with 84 listing it as their first preference and 59 receiving offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of nearly six to one.
