About St Martin's CofE Junior Infant and Nursery School

St Martin's CofE Junior Infant and Nursery School in Oldham is a Church of England primary that currently teaches 224 pupils against a capacity of 240, leaving a small amount of headroom. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 54.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Despite this, demand is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 49 applications for 29 places, with 25 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.69. All 25 first-preference families were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, those who put it first are likely to get in. The school also has nursery provision for children aged three and above, so families looking for a single-site journey from nursery through to Year 6 will find that continuity here.
