About Heswall St Peter's CofE Primary School

Heswall St Peter's CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in Wirral that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.79. Of those, 23 were first-preference applications, and all 23 received offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, families who put it first stand a strong chance. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2024, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. With a capacity of 320 and 291 pupils on roll, there is some headroom, but the oversubscription figures indicate a school that is well-regarded in the community.
