About Rolls Crescent Primary School

Rolls Crescent Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in Manchester that currently educates 400 pupils against a capacity of 472, meaning it is not yet at full roll. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 46 per cent, which is notably high and suggests the school serves a community with significant economic need. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 79 total applications for 40 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Of those, 40 families listed it as their first preference, and all 40 were offered a place, giving a first-preference offer rate of 100 per cent. The overall oversubscription ratio of 1.98 indicates that for every available place, nearly two families applied, a clear signal of local demand. The school has nursery provision for children from age three, and its intake spans the full primary age range up to 11. Leadership is shared between two headteachers, J Reynolds and Ms H Turner.
