North Cheshire Jewish Primary School
About North Cheshire Jewish Primary School
North Cheshire Jewish Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Stockport, with a Jewish religious character, currently led by headteacher Michael Woolf. The school has 179 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, meaning it is operating at around 75% of its maximum — a notable gap that suggests there is room for more families. Its proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.1%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), indicating a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider population. Despite the spare capacity, the school was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 30 total applications for 26 places, with all 26 first-preference applicants receiving offers. That oversubscription ratio of 1.15 is modest but still signals solid local demand, particularly from families who prioritise the school’s Jewish ethos and its place within Stockport’s primary landscape.
