About Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School

Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Wychavon, Worcestershire, with a Roman Catholic character and a nursery provision for children aged two. The school currently has 178 pupils against a capacity of 210, leaving some headroom, but demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for 23 places, with 22 of those being first-preference offers. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.57, meaning nearly six in ten applicants miss out on their first choice. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 15.2%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 14% but well within typical local ranges for a school serving a mixed catchment. The school’s religious character and its Good Ofsted rating clearly drive local appeal, and the fact that all 22 first-preference applicants were offered places suggests that families who prioritise it tend to get in.
