About Hermitage Primary School

Hermitage Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 81 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.7. Of those applicants, 33 put Hermitage as their first preference, and all 30 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests parents who get a place tend to be very satisfied. The school doesn't publish a formal parent-view recommendation score, but the combination of high first-preference numbers and a full allocation from that list is a strong signal in itself. It's a state primary for mixed genders, ages 4 to 11, with no religious character, and it's run by Cheshire East council. Headteacher Adam Young leads a school that is essentially at capacity, with 209 pupils against a published capacity of 210, so spaces are genuinely tight.
