About Kingsfold Primary School

Kingsfold Primary School in South Ribble is a small state primary with a current roll of 109 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is operating at just over half its potential size. This undersubscription is striking given the strong demand signal in its 2025/26 admissions data: the school received 32 applications for just 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.13, and all 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. The school’s intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 61.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average of around 23% and significantly higher than the Lancashire local authority average for primary schools. This suggests Kingsfold serves a community with higher-than-typical levels of economic deprivation, and its relatively small size may allow for more targeted support. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 3 to 11, including nursery provision.
