About Clayton-le-Woods Church of England Primary School

Clayton-le-Woods Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Chorley that is noticeably popular with local families. The school has capacity for 236 pupils but currently enrols 219, leaving a small number of spare places. However, for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 76 applications for just 29 places, making it oversubscribed by a factor of 2.62. All 29 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while competition exists, being a first-choice applicant puts you in a strong position. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 6.7%, well below the national average, indicating a relatively affluent catchment. The school is a Church of England primary with a nursery provision, and its headteacher is Sarah Bashora-Guyo. It is a mixed-gender school for children aged 3 to 11, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Good.
