About Ingol Community Primary School

Ingol Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 17 first-preference applications for its 28 reception places in 2025/26, making it officially oversubscribed. The oversubscription ratio of 2.25 means more than two families applied for every available spot, a clear signal of its standing in the community. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand suggests a strong local reputation. The school is a state-funded primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, located in Preston, Lancashire, and led by headteacher Naomi Parkinson. It has a relatively small roll of 200 pupils, just under its capacity of 210, and a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 50%, indicating a diverse intake.
