About Lammack Primary School

Lammack Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 221 applications for just 89 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.48. Of those applications, 83 were first-preference requests, and 78 of those families were offered a place, meaning that even putting it top of your list is no guarantee. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the sheer demand suggests strong word of mouth. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Paula Duckworth. It currently has 527 pupils on roll, just shy of its 550 capacity, and a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 6.6 per cent, which is well below the national average.
