About Lewis Street Primary School

Lewis Street Primary School in Salford is a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 417 pupils against a capacity of 456. That leaves some headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 81 applications for just 44 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.84. All 35 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning the school is popular enough to fill its places comfortably from local families who put it top of their list. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 45.1% of children are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools (around 23-24%) and significantly higher than the Salford average of roughly 30%. That context matters — the school is serving a community with higher-than-average economic need, and its intake profile reflects that.
