About Haveley Hey Community School

Haveley Hey Community School is a state primary in Manchester that currently has 436 pupils on roll, just above its official capacity of 432. The school serves a community with very high levels of disadvantage: 71.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, far above the national average and a clear signal of the challenges the school faces. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 89 applications for 41 places, with 41 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.17. This suggests that local families actively choose the school despite its circumstances. The school has a nursery provision and is mixed-gender with no religious character, taking children from age 3 to 11. Headteacher Susan Spiteri leads a school that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, was rated Requires Improvement overall, though several individual areas were judged Good.
