About Hallwood Park Primary School and Nursery

Hallwood Park Primary School and Nursery in Halton is a small state primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently operating well below its capacity. With 74 pupils against a capacity of 126, the school has significant room to grow. Its intake stands out demographically: 68.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure far above the national average and a clear indicator of the level of disadvantage the school serves. Despite this spare capacity, the school was oversubscribed for its 2025/26 reception intake, receiving 5 applications for 4 places, with 3 of those coming as first preferences. This suggests a strong local demand, likely from families who value the school’s nursery provision and its place within the community. The school is mixed, non-religious, and led by headteacher Flora Graham.
