About Upton Heath CofE Primary School

If you’re weighing up Upton Heath CofE Primary School, the parent experience signals are a good place to start. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, with 82 applications for 39 places — an oversubscription ratio of 2.1. That means more than two families applied for every spot, which suggests solid local demand. Of those 82 applications, 23 were first-preference choices, and exactly 23 first-preference offers were made, so if you put it top of your list you’d have a decent shot. The school is a Church of England primary in Cheshire West and Chester, with headteacher Stuart Roberts at the helm. It has capacity for 445 pupils but currently enrols 345, so there’s some breathing room. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 8.4%, below the national average, which hints at a relatively advantaged intake.
