About Grappenhall Heys Community Primary School

Grappenhall Heys Community Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, located in the Warrington borough. The school is currently operating above its stated capacity, with 352 pupils on roll against a capacity of 300, which gives an early indication of its local popularity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 5.7%, notably lower than the national average, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 169 total applications for just 60 places, with 81 of those coming as first preferences. This oversubscription ratio of 2.82 means nearly three families applied for every available place, and the school was able to offer first-preference places to 60 children. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Kelly Jackson.
