About Freckleton Church of England Primary School

Freckleton Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Fylde that currently teaches 192 pupils against a capacity of 210, so it is not yet full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.1%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a mixed socioeconomic intake. The school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 56 applications for just 27 places, with exactly 27 first-preference applications and an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all first-preference families were offered a place. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Neil Kenyon. It also offers nursery provision for children from age two, which will appeal to local families looking for an early start within the same setting.
