Holy Trinity Primary School
About Holy Trinity Primary School
Holy Trinity Primary School is a Church of England primary in Bury that is currently running very close to capacity, with 232 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 241. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 36.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average of around 23% for primary schools. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.08. Of those 50 applicants, 20 put Holy Trinity as their first preference, and all 20 received an offer. This suggests a school that is popular within its immediate catchment, particularly among families who prioritise it as their top choice, though the gap between total applications and first-preference numbers hints that many families are listing it as a lower preference backup.
