About Hudson Primary School

Hudson Primary School in Sefton is a popular choice among local families, with 27 first-preference applications for its 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 55 applications for those places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.9. While parent view data isn't available in this profile, the strong first-preference demand suggests a good local reputation. Headteacher Nicola Craddock leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school currently has 276 pupils on roll, exceeding its official capacity of 210, which points to its draw in the community. Just under a fifth of pupils (19.8%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some context to the school's intake.
