Summerville Primary School
About Summerville Primary School
If you’re a parent in Salford weighing up primary options, the numbers at Summerville Primary School tell a story worth paying attention to. In the most recent admissions round for 2025/26, the school received 26 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. That’s a clear signal that local families are actively choosing it. Of those 26 applications, 13 were first-preference choices, and 13 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it top got a place, but the overall demand still outstripped supply. The school is led by headteacher Leanne Straker and has a nursery provision for children from age three, feeding into a total roll of 199 pupils against a capacity of 210. With 48.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage, yet it has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its 2012 graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed it remains Good.
