About Chorley All Saints Church of England Primary School and Nursery Unit

Chorley All Saints Church of England Primary School and Nursery Unit is a popular choice among local families, with a clear signal of demand in its most recent admissions round. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.59. Fifteen of those applications were first-preference choices, and the school made 15 first-preference offers, meaning every family who put it first secured a spot. This level of competition suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage.

It is led by headteacher Sarah Partington and currently has 199 pupils on roll, slightly below its capacity of 210.
