About All Saints Catholic Primary School

All Saints Catholic Primary School in Sefton is a state-funded primary for children aged 3 to 11, and its intake tells a distinct story about the community it serves. The school has 355 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, meaning it is operating below its maximum, with around 15% of places unfilled. That said, demand is solid: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 43 applications for 30 places, with 27 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.34. The most striking demographic signal is the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, which stands at 49.4%. That is well above the national average for primary schools and places All Saints among schools serving a significantly disadvantaged catchment. The school is Roman Catholic in character, and while the data doesn't specify faith-based admissions criteria, the religious designation is likely a factor for local Catholic families weighing their options.
