About St Augustine's CofE Primary School

St Augustine's CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in the Manchester local authority, and it ranks 21st out of 122 primary schools in the area, placing it comfortably in the top 20% of its peers. Its ranking score of 70 puts it behind the top three local schools — Didsbury CofE Primary School, Brookburn Community School, and Rack House Primary School — but still marks it as a strong performer within the borough. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 28 applications for just 12 places and 10 of those coming as first preferences, which gives a sense of its local reputation. It serves a notably diverse intake: 62.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age three. Headteacher Razia Shah leads a relatively small school of 205 pupils against a capacity of 240, so there is some room for growth.
