About St Mary's CofE Primary School

If you’re a parent weighing up St Mary’s CofE Primary School, the first thing you’ll notice is just how sought-after it is. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 74 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.63. That means nearly five families applied for every spot. Of those 74 applications, 14 were first-preference choices, and 14 first-preference offers were made — so if you put it top of your list, you had a decent chance, but competition is fierce. The school is popular, and that reputation is backed up by parent sentiment. While the data doesn’t include a specific parentView recommend percentage, the sheer demand tells its own story. St Mary’s is a Church of England primary in Trafford, with a headteacher called Alison Daniel, and it currently has 184 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there’s a little headroom, but not much.
