About St Hugh's CofE Primary School

Parents considering St Hugh’s CofE Primary School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 16 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.45. Of those 16 applicants, nine put St Hugh’s as their first preference, and all nine were offered a place. That suggests a school that’s popular but not impossibly selective — if you live nearby and make it your top choice, your odds look decent. The school itself is a Church of England primary in Oldham, with 215 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, so there’s a little breathing room. Headteacher Jane Lisic leads a mixed-gender, state-funded school that also offers nursery provision for children from age three. With 59.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, and the school’s facilities include a sensory room, chapel, art studios and playing fields.
