Every child who put Ringway Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Ringway Primary School at a glance

Located in Manchester, Ringway Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 433 pupils aged 2 to 11. 39% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 1.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Ringway Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 42 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.4%. There are about 20.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 57% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Ringway Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
