About Huntington Community Primary School

Huntington Community Primary School in Cheshire West and Chester is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, currently home to 392 children against a capacity of 456. That leaves some physical room to grow, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 64 applications for just 42 places, with 38 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.52, meaning over one and a half families compete for every spot. The pupil body is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with only 6.6% of children eligible for free school meals, compared to a typical primary figure of around 23% across England. This demographic profile, combined with the strong first-preference pull, suggests a school that local families actively seek out, even if it isn't yet at full capacity.
