About Springwell Park Community Primary School

Springwell Park Community Primary School in Sefton is a mixed, state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has capacity for 482 pupils and currently enrols 457, meaning it is running very close to full. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed: it received 88 applications for just 41 places, with 35 of those coming as first preferences and 34 offers made to first-preference families. That works out at roughly 2.15 applicants for every available place, a strong signal of demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 49.5%, which is notably high compared with the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Tracy Webley.
