About Manor Park Primary School and Nursery

Manor Park Primary School and Nursery in Cheshire East is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 256 pupils against a capacity of 315. That leaves around a fifth of places unfilled, which is notable given the school’s oversubscription status for 2025/26 entry: 37 families applied for 20 reception places, with exactly 20 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 33.3%, well above the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Headteacher Ben Tudor leads a non-religious school with nursery provision attached, and the intake profile points to a diverse mix of needs and backgrounds. Despite the spare capacity in the overall building, the reception year is clearly popular, and the school’s ability to fill its first-preference offers entirely indicates strong local demand for the places available.
