About Peover Superior Endowed Primary School

Peover Superior Endowed Primary School is a small state primary in Cheshire East with 93 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105. The school serves a notably less disadvantaged intake than the national picture: just 5.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary average of around 23% nationally. Demand for places is intense. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 58 applications for 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.87. Of the 14 first-preference applications, only 12 offers were made, meaning even families who put Peover first face a significant chance of missing out. The school ranks first out of 113 primary schools in Cheshire East and fourth nationally out of 13,686, placing it in the top five per cent of primaries in the country. That combination of low disadvantage and high demand suggests a catchment where families are actively seeking out this school.
