About St Saviour CofE Primary School, Ringley
St Saviour CofE Primary School, Ringley, is a Church of England primary in Bolton that is currently running at its full capacity of 210 pupils. The school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 60 applications for just 30 places, with 30 of those applications coming from first-preference families. That works out to two applications for every spot, and the school made 27 offers to first-preference families, suggesting a competitive but not impossible entry point. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 5. 2%, which is notably low compared with the national average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent intake. The school is mixed, non-selective, and serves the 5-11 age range, with a strong Church of England character that may appeal to families looking for a faith-based primary option in the Bolton area.
