About Catterick Garrison, Le Cateau Community Primary School
Catterick Garrison’s Le Cateau Community Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 487 pupils against a capacity of 525. That leaves a small buffer of around 38 places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 83 applications for 36 total places, with 30 of those going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.31, meaning more than two families compete for each spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 13.8%, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision, so it serves families from the early years right through to Year 6. Its headteacher is Ian Mottram.
