About Oughtrington Primary School

Oughtrington Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Warrington, currently home to 391 pupils against a capacity of 420, so it is running close to full but with a small amount of headroom. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 12.5%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider Warrington area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 82 applications for 49 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Of those 82 applications, 46 were first-preference choices, and all 46 first-preference families were offered a place. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.67 applicants per place, a clear signal that local families are keen to get in. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are handled on a purely community basis, and there is no nursery provision on site, meaning children join in reception at age four.
