Clayton-le-Moors Mount Pleasant Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 34 families put Clayton-le-Moors Mount Pleasant Primary School as their first choice and 61 named it as one of their preferences, for 37 places offered.
