Green End Primary School
About Green End Primary School
Green End Primary School sits within the Manchester local authority, where it ranks 9th out of 122 primary schools — comfortably inside the top 10 and the top 25% of its type nationally. Among its closest-performing peers in the area are Didsbury CofE Primary School, Brookburn Community School, and Rack House Primary School, all of which also achieve strong ranking scores. The school is one of only 15 primaries in Manchester to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has now maintained across two inspections, the most recent taking place in March 2025. Headteacher Lisa Vyas leads a school that is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 150 applications for 60 places, with 63 first-preference applications alone. The school’s capacity is listed at 420 pupils, yet it currently accommodates 486, which suggests it is operating above its official limit.
