About Leftwich Community Primary School

Leftwich Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 18 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. All nine first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with twice as many families applying as there are spots, it is clearly a school in demand. While there is no official parent survey data to draw on, the high level of first-preference applications suggests strong local confidence. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 176 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is some room to grow. It sits within the Cheshire West and Chester local authority and has no religious character. The headship is shared by Claire Harrison and Mrs Lynn Guy.
