About Thingwall Primary School

Thingwall Primary School is a mixed state primary in Wirral, operating slightly below its capacity of 210 with 201 pupils on roll. Its free school meal rate of 11.9% sits below the national average, suggesting a relatively advantaged intake compared with many schools nationally. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 67 total applications for just 29 places, with 34 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 2.31, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. All 29 first-preference offers were taken up, which indicates strong demand from families who list Thingwall as their top choice. The school does not have a nursery or sixth form, so its intake is strictly for children aged 4 to 11, and it has no religious character.
