About Irlam Endowed Primary School

Irlam Endowed Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 62 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 07. Of those, 31 put it as their first preference, and all 30 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That level of demand suggests parents in Salford see something they trust. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2023, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. With 238 pupils on roll against a capacity of 248, the school is running near full, which reinforces its standing in the community. While the data doesn’t include a parent-view survey, the oversubscription figures alone signal strong local confidence.
