Lytham St Annes Mayfield Primary School
About Lytham St Annes Mayfield Primary School
Lytham St Annes Mayfield Primary School sends a strong signal to parents through its admission data: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 72 applications for just 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.32. Of those, 35 families put it as their first preference, and all 31 offers went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests a school that local parents actively want, even though the school itself does not publish a parent-view survey percentage. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with 232 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, so there is some headroom in the building but not in the reception class. Headteacher Glyn Denton leads a non-religious school in the Fylde borough of Lancashire, and 37.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average and points to a genuinely inclusive intake.
