About Saviour CofE Primary School

Saviour CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Manchester, currently teaching 141 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it operates at around two-thirds full. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s intake profile: 66% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure far above the national average and one of the highest in the local authority. Despite this, demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 32 applications for just 14 places, with all 14 first-preference applicants offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 2.29 suggests that while the school is popular among local families who list it first, many others who apply do not get in. The school has nursery provision for three-year-olds, which may feed into reception numbers. With a mixed gender intake from age three to eleven, Saviour CofE serves a diverse community, and its religious character as a Church of England school may be a draw for some families in the area.
