About Great Eccleston Copp CofE Primary School

If you're a parent in Wyre looking at Great Eccleston Copp CofE Primary School, the first thing you'll notice is that it's a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 44 applications for just 25 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.76. Of those, 23 families put it down as their first preference, and all 23 were offered a spot. That kind of demand suggests local parents rate it highly, though there's no formal parent-view survey data to back that up directly. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It's led by headteacher Andrea Loughran and currently has 168 pupils on roll against a capacity of 205, so there's some room to grow. Around 18.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
