About Flixton Primary School

Flixton Primary School is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, and it is currently oversubscribed by a significant margin. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered 60 places and received 168 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.8 applicants per place. Of those, 72 families put Flixton as their first preference, and 59 of those received offers. The school is running above its official capacity of 428 pupils, with 445 currently on roll, which suggests it is a popular choice in the Trafford area. Just 2.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school has a nursery provision for younger children, and its headteacher is Jason Redmond. The religious character is listed as 'does not apply', so it is a non-faith community school.
