Holy Family Catholic Primary School, Warton
About Holy Family Catholic Primary School, Warton
Holy Family Catholic Primary School in Warton is a smaller-than-average primary, with 149 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180. That leaves roughly a sixth of places unfilled, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 56 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning the extra demand came from families further down their list. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 18.8%, which is above the national primary average of around 23% but still a significant minority, suggesting a genuinely mixed catchment. As a Roman Catholic state school in Lancashire, it draws from the local Catholic community but is open to all, and its relatively small size means children are likely to be known well by staff.
