About Eccleston CofE Primary School

Parents considering Eccleston CofE Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.21, meaning more than three families applied for every available spot. Of those 45 applications, 17 were first-preference choices, and 12 of those families received an offer. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among local parents, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey or recommend percentage, so the only direct signal of satisfaction is the application data itself. The school is a Church of England primary with a mixed intake of 100 pupils, just under its capacity of 105. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 9%, which is relatively low and may reflect the demographic of the surrounding area in Cheshire West and Chester.
