Claremont Primary School
About Claremont Primary School
Claremont Primary School is a large state primary in Manchester, currently home to 603 pupils against a capacity of 682, meaning it operates with some spare room despite being significantly oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 139 applications for 57 places, with all 57 first-preference applicants offered a spot — an oversubscription ratio of 2.44 to one, which signals strong local demand. The school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage: 64.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a figure that places it among the more challenged intakes in the borough. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and admits both boys and girls from ages 3 to 11, including nursery provision. Headteacher Anne Conboy leads a mixed-gender, state-funded primary that, given its intake profile, is clearly a central part of its local community in Manchester.
