Nevill Road Junior School
About Nevill Road Junior School
Nevill Road Junior School in Stockport is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently home to 321 pupils against a capacity of 360. That leaves some breathing room in the numbers, suggesting the school isn't oversubscribed to the point of turning families away at the gate. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 19.6%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still a significant minority, giving the school a genuinely mixed intake. The school's religious character is listed as 'Does not apply', so it's a straightforward community option with no faith-based admissions criteria. Headteacher Judi Cliff leads a co-educational setting that draws from the local area without the kind of fierce competition you might see at some of Stockport's more oversubscribed primaries. For parents looking for a solid, inclusive local school rather than a selective or faith-based route, Nevill Road presents a realistic and accessible choice.
