About St Michael's-On-Wyre Church of England Primary School & Nursery

St Michael's-On-Wyre Church of England Primary School & Nursery is a small state primary in rural Lancashire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 51 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.04 — meaning more than two families applied for every spot. All 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so if you live close enough to put it first, your chances are solid. The school has a Church of England character and is led by headteacher Diane Carroll. With 109 pupils on roll against a capacity of 142, it is not yet full, which suggests the oversubscription is driven by local demand rather than sheer size. There is no parent-view survey data available, but the application numbers speak for themselves: this is a school that local families actively choose.
