About Euxton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
Euxton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a state primary in Chorley that runs very close to full capacity, with 209 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 210. That near-full house makes sense given the demand: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 110 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.67 to one. Only 23 of those 24 first-preference families received an offer, so securing a place here is competitive. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national picture — just 5.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary average of around 23 per cent nationally. That low FSM figure, combined with the Church of England character and the school’s Outstanding Ofsted rating, helps explain why it’s such a popular choice among local families.
