About Ladybridge Primary School

Ladybridge Primary School is a small state primary in Stockport that clearly inspires strong local loyalty. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.6 to one. Of those 46 applications, nine were first-preference choices, and nine first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place, but competition for those spots is fierce. The school’s parentView data isn’t available in this dataset, but the sheer demand suggests a positive reputation among local families. With 161 pupils on roll against a capacity of 189, the school isn’t at full capacity, yet the high application numbers for a small cohort indicate that for those who secure a place, it’s a sought-after option. Headteacher Tom Bolan-Ashworth leads a school that has clearly turned a corner, as its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across all five categories, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018.
