St Michael-in-the-Hamlet Community 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, 44 families put St Michael-in-the-Hamlet Community Primary School as their first choice and 100 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: 39 first choices in 2021, against 44 in 2026.
Across Liverpool, 89% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 97% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Liverpool lodged 184 appeals against primary school offers; 89 reached a hearing and 3 succeeded (3.4% of those heard).
