About St Hugh's Catholic Primary School

St Hugh's Catholic Primary School sits within Trafford, a local authority with a strong reputation for primary education, and it holds its own in a competitive field. Among 63 primary schools in the borough, it ranks 32nd based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The three highest-ranked peers in the area are St Vincent's Catholic Primary School, Park Road Academy Primary School and Brooklands Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. St Hugh's is a large Roman Catholic state primary with a nursery provision, serving 637 pupils from ages 3 to 11. It is heavily oversubscribed: for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 176 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.93, and 60 first-preference applications for those 60 places. That level of demand suggests strong local confidence in the school, even if its ranking places it in the middle of the pack in Trafford.
