About Chorlton Park Primary

Chorlton Park Primary is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary in Manchester for children aged 3 to 11, and it is significantly oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered 77 places and received 219 applications, an oversubscription ratio of 2.84. Of those, 76 were first-preference applications, meaning virtually every place went to a family who had ranked it top. The school is operating above its official capacity of 630, with 685 pupils currently on roll. Its intake reflects a diverse socioeconomic mix: 27.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23.8% (based on the most recent comparable data). This suggests Chorlton Park serves a genuinely mixed catchment, drawing families from across the local area.
