About Moorfield Primary School

Moorfield Primary School in Stockport is a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 396 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 112 applications for just 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.61. Of those, 28 were first-preference applications, and 28 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 7.6%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively advantaged intake. The school is non-religious, with no nursery or sixth form provision, and is led by headteacher Paul Anderson. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in September 2023, rated the school as Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013, so families considering Moorfield will want to look closely at what has changed.
