About Warton Archbishop Hutton's VC Primary School

Parents considering Warton Archbishop Hutton's VC Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular with local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 21 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. All 13 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is in demand, those who put it first have a strong chance of getting in. The school has a total capacity of 126 pupils and currently has 97 on roll, so there is some physical space, but the oversubscription indicates that the school is a sought-after choice in the Lancaster area. The headteacher is Stuart Pugh, and the school is a voluntary controlled primary with no religious character. With a relatively small roll, it offers a more intimate setting than many larger primaries in Lancashire.
