About Lower Park School

Lower Park School is a state primary in Cheshire East that is running very close to capacity, with 276 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 280. That near-full occupancy makes sense given the level of demand: for its 40 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 102 applications, an oversubscription ratio of 2.55. Only 31 of those 102 applicants listed it as their first preference, and all 31 were offered a place. The school serves a notably less disadvantaged intake than the national average — just 3.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. That figure also sits well below the Cheshire East average, which tends to hover around 12-14%. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and covers ages 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
