About Preston Greenlands Community Primary School

Preston Greenlands Community Primary School is a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 191 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is a little breathing room in the numbers. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 40.8%, which is well above the national average and signals a significant level of disadvantage in the intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 55 applications for just 21 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.62, and all 20 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That suggests families in the area are actively choosing Greenlands, even with the high FSM context. The school is non-religious and has no nursery or sixth form provision, so it’s a straightforward primary option for local families.
