The 15 Manchester primary schools that are the hardest to get into

As parents across Manchester find out next week which primary school their child has been offered a place at, we thought we would look in advance at the hardest primary schools to get into.

Primary school offers will be sent out across Manchester on Wednesday, April 16.

Offers Day can be a tense time for many families and unfortunately not all children in Lancashire receive the school allocation they had wished for.

Ahead of the day, we have looked at the latest available DfE figures show to show which Fylde Coast primary schools were the hardest to get into in September 2024.
