About Eaton Primary School

Eaton Primary School is a smaller-than-average state primary in Cheshire West and Chester, with 161 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. That leaves a fair amount of physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 40 applications for just 19 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.11 to one. Of those, 16 were first-preference applications, and all 16 received offers — suggesting that families who put Eaton first are very likely to get in, but that competition from other preferences is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 6.8%, well below the national average for primary schools (around 23%), indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school is non-religious, mixed-gender, and serves the 5–11 age range, with Andrew Davies as headteacher. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2023, rated it Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, which had judged it Inadequate.
