About Peel Hall Primary Academy

Peel Hall Primary Academy in Manchester is a state-funded, mixed primary school for children aged 3 to 11, currently led by headteacher Amy Tatham. The school operates well below its capacity, with 178 pupils against a total capacity of 249, leaving roughly 71 unfilled places. This spare capacity is notable given the school’s high level of disadvantage: 63.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure far above the national average and a strong indicator of the community it serves. Despite this, demand for places is surprisingly strong. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school offered 12 total places and received 38 applications, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 3.17. Of those 38 applicants, 10 listed Peel Hall as their first preference, and all 10 received an offer. This suggests that while the school is not full overall, its reception intake is highly sought after by local families, likely due to its nursery provision and specific support offerings.
