About Lache Primary School

Lache Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Cheshire West and Chester, one of 128 primary schools in the local authority. It sits within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing peers include Bishop Wilson Church of England Primary School, Delamere CofE Primary Academy, and Childer Thornton Primary School. Lache itself is rated Good by Ofsted, a rating it has held across both its most recent inspections in 2024 and 2019. The school is led by headteacher Kate Seager and serves 183 pupils against a capacity of 258, meaning it is currently under-enrolled. Over half of its pupils (50.8%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, reflecting the school’s role in a community with higher-than-average deprivation. The school offers nursery provision for children from age three, and its religious character is listed as not applicable.
