About Clarendon Primary School

Clarendon Primary School in Bolton is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is currently running above its official capacity. With 471 pupils on roll against a capacity of 455, the school is clearly a popular choice among local families. That popularity is backed up by the admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 91 applications for just 48 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.9, and 44 of those offers went to first-preference families. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage — 36.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23%. The headteacher is Vicky Chatterjee, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, so families can start their child’s education here from age three.
