About Oak Tree Primary School

Oak Tree Primary School in Stockport is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 638 pupils on roll against a capacity of 670, the school is running very close to full, and the demand is unmistakable: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 189 applications for just 59 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.2 to one. Only 50 of those applications came as first preferences, meaning the school is attracting strong interest from a wide catchment. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the intake draws from a relatively affluent area within Stockport. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Christine Slater, who took over a school that has clearly built a strong local reputation.
