About Meadowbank Primary School

Meadowbank Primary School in Stockport is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has capacity for 472 pupils and currently enrols 436, meaning it is running close to full but not yet at its limit. However, the real demand signal comes from admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 143 applications for just 48 places, making it officially oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of nearly 3 to 1. Only 42 first-preference offers were made, matching the number of first-preference applications exactly, which suggests that virtually all who put it first were successful, but competition from other preferences was fierce. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.6%, which is below the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider population.
