About Warrington St Ann's CofE Primary School

Warrington St Ann’s CofE Primary School is a smaller-than-average state primary in Warrington, with 176 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. That leaves around a sixth of its places unfilled, but the picture is more nuanced than it first appears. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 28 applications for just 16 Reception places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.75 applicants per place. Fourteen of those applications were first-preference choices, and all 14 received offers — so while demand is real, it’s not so intense that local families are being routinely turned away. What really stands out is the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals: 51.7%, which is well above the national average for primary schools and signals a catchment with significant economic disadvantage. The school is Church of England-affiliated, takes children from age 2 (with a nursery on site), and is led by headteacher Kathryn Keen.
