Queen's Park CofE/Urc 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, 45 families put Queen's Park CofE/Urc Primary School as their first choice and 96 named it as one of their preferences, for 57 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 41 first choices in 2021, against 45 in 2026.
Across St. Helens, 90% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 98% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in St. Helens lodged 28 appeals against primary school offers; 20 reached a hearing and 3 succeeded (15% of those heard).
