About Peel Hall Primary School

Peel Hall Primary School in Salford is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently operating below its capacity of 480 with 406 pupils on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 59.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Despite this, demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 53 total applications for 47 places, with 41 of those coming as first preferences. This oversubscription ratio of 1.13 suggests that local families actively seek places here, even though the school is not yet rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The nursery provision adds to its appeal for younger families, and the headteacher, Stephen Lawler-Smith, leads a school that clearly plays a central role in its community.
