Admissions

Places for Reception and junior school are applied for through your home council, not the school.

Apply for a primary school place on GOV.UK

How places are given: as a Roman Catholic school, it may give priority to children of that faith, then usually by distance. Check its admissions policy.

How many families applied: Reception

For September 2026, 25 families put this school as their first choice, and 26 places were offered. 25 of the families who put it first got a place (100%).

Offers made on national offer day, from the Department for Education. Waiting lists and appeals can change things later. The hardest schools to get into.

Before and after school

No club is registered with Ofsted at this school's address. Ask the school about breakfast or after-school care, or find clubs nearby.
