About Tarleton Mere Brow Church of England Primary School

Tarleton Mere Brow Church of England Primary School is a small, popular choice for local families. In its most recent admissions round for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 41 applications for just 10 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.1 to one. All ten of those places went to first-preference applicants, which suggests it is a genuine top choice for many parents in the West Lancashire area. The school has a nursery provision, so families with younger children can get a foot in the door early. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view survey for this school, the high demand and strong first-preference offer rate are clear signals of local confidence. The school is a Church of England primary, which may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting, though its admissions criteria will determine how that faith link is applied.
