About Coppull St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Coppull St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small village primary that parents clearly want to get into. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 38 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.43. All 7 first-preference families were offered a spot, but with five times as many applicants as places, it's a competitive school to secure a spot at. The school itself is a Church of England state primary in Chorley, Lancashire, with a current roll of just 84 pupils against a capacity of 140. That spare capacity might seem at odds with the high demand, but it likely reflects the school's small, rural intake area rather than any lack of appeal. The headteacher is Emma Stone, and the school serves children from ages 4 to 11.
