About All Saints' Roman Catholic High School, a Voluntary Academy

All Saints' Roman Catholic High School sits within Lancashire local authority, a secondary school in Rossendale that serves 498 pupils aged 11 to 16. It is a state-funded, mixed Roman Catholic school, and in the local area it ranks 5th out of 6 schools of its type, placing it in the bottom half of its immediate peers. For context, the top-performing schools in the same authority include Preston Muslim Girls High School, Eden Boys' School, Preston, and Holy Cross Catholic High School, all of which post significantly stronger Progress 8 scores. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 102 places in the 2025/26 academic year, it received 457 total applications, with 97 first-preference applications and 82 offers made to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 4.48, suggesting strong local demand despite the school's current Ofsted rating. The headteacher is Francesca Lord, and the school's religious character as a Roman Catholic institution is likely a key factor for many families choosing it.
