All Saints' Catholic Voluntary Academy
About All Saints' Catholic Voluntary Academy
All Saints’ Catholic Voluntary Academy is a mixed secondary school in Mansfield that is currently oversubscribed by a considerable margin. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 564 applications for 188 places, with 261 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at roughly three applications for every place, and the school made 183 first-preference offers, suggesting that demand comfortably exceeds supply. The school currently has 1,135 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,107, meaning it is operating slightly above its official limit. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.5%, which is above the national average for secondary schools and reflects the school’s role in serving a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. As a Roman Catholic voluntary academy, the school has a religious character that will shape its admissions criteria, though the data does not specify how faith-based oversubscription rules are applied.
