About Wrenbury Primary School

Wrenbury Primary School is a small state primary in Cheshire East, currently home to 130 pupils against a capacity of 160, meaning it operates well below its physical limit. That spare space isn’t for want of local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 31 applications for its 20 Reception places, with all 20 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 55. The pupil body is notably more disadvantaged than the national picture — 29. 2% of children are eligible for free school meals, roughly double the England average for primary schools. This context matters because the school’s results and Ofsted story sit against a backdrop of higher-than-average deprivation, which often correlates with lower headline scores. The school is non-religious, co-educational, and serves ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Headteacher Rebecca Charlesworth leads a team that has clearly earned the trust of local families, given that every first-preference applicant secured a place.
