About Monks Coppenhall Academy

Monks Coppenhall Academy is a state primary in Cheshire East that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 152 applications for 90 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.69 applicants per place. Of those, 86 families put it as their first preference, and all 86 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests parents who get to know the school tend to be keen on it. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, which can be a practical draw for families looking for continuity from early years right through to Year 6. With 624 pupils on a capacity of 630, it’s running very close to full, so securing a place requires being on the ball with applications. The headteacher is Carl Leech, and the school has no religious character.
