About Heaton Park Primary School

Heaton Park Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 122 applications for just 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.03. Of those applications, 61 were first-preference, and 59 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it top got in, but competition is real. The school does not publish a parent recommend percentage in its data, but the sheer volume of applications suggests strong word-of-mouth. It’s a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is non-religious. Headteacher Rachel Senior leads a school of 418 pupils, just shy of its 438 capacity, so it’s running close to full. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held across its most recent inspections, having improved from a Requires Improvement rating in its 2010 inspection.
