About Ormskirk Asmall Primary School

Ormskirk Asmall Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 64 applications for just 19 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3. 37. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who live close enough, it is a realistic first choice. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 144 pupils against a capacity of 150. Just over a fifth of pupils (20. 8%) are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The headteacher is Sarah Evans, and the school has no religious character. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its previous graded inspection in December 2018.
