About Catcott Primary School

Catcott Primary School is a state primary in Somerset with a mixed intake of 132 pupils, well below its capacity of 200. That leaves significant room for growth, though the school is already oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year: 22 applications were received for 18 places, with 16 of those coming as first preferences. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15. 9%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is non-denominational and led by headteacher Laura Constanza. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2024, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — a consistent improvement from its previous Good rating in 2013.
