About Leigh North Street Primary School

Leigh North Street Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 237 applications for just 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.63. Of those 92 families who put it as their first preference, 82 were offered a place, which suggests that while competition is stiff, a first-choice application gives you a very strong chance. The school’s headteacher is Anthony Hautler, and it currently educates 622 pupils, just shy of its 630 capacity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.9%, which is below the national average and points to a relatively affluent intake. Although the school does not have a published parent view score from Ofsted, the sheer demand for places is itself a powerful signal of local satisfaction.
