About Haslam Park Primary School

Haslam Park Primary School in Bolton is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 346 pupils against a school capacity of 352. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 51.7%, which is significantly above the national average and signals a catchment with considerable socio-economic challenge. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 77 total applications for 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.48. Of those, 21 were first-preference applications, and all 21 received offers. This suggests that while the school is popular locally, it is not so oversubscribed that first-preference families are routinely turned away. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, so its focus is squarely on the primary years.
