About Sutton Manor Community Primary School

Sutton Manor Community Primary School is a state primary in St. Helens that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 24 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and all 12 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that for those who put it top of their list, the odds were good. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in December 2022, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a clean sweep of solid grades, and it's worth noting that the school has held a Good rating consistently since at least its previous inspection in 2013. With 225 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is running slightly over its official number, which often signals a popular local choice.
