About Preesall Fleetwood's Charity Church of England Primary School

Preesall Fleetwood's Charity Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Wyre, Lancashire, and it is genuinely popular. The school has 147 pupils on roll, which is slightly over its official capacity of 141, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for just 13 places, with 13 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 2.62 applications per place, a strong oversubscription signal for a village school. The intake itself is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 20.4% of pupils qualify for free school meals, which is above the national average of around 23% but still significant for a Church of England primary in a relatively affluent corner of Lancashire. The school is mixed, takes children from age 4 to 11, and is led by headteacher Victoria Gladwin. Its religious character as Church of England will appeal to some local families, but the oversubscription suggests its appeal goes well beyond that.
