About Holy Rosary Catholic Primary Academy

Holy Rosary Catholic Primary Academy is a popular choice among Wolverhampton families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 65 applications for just 28 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.32. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all 23 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests strong local confidence in the school. ParentView data isn't available here, but the high demand tells its own story. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, with a current roll of 210 children against a capacity of 203, so it's running slightly over its official number. Headteacher Adam Jewkes leads a school where nearly half of pupils (48.6%) are eligible for free school meals, a significantly higher proportion than the national average, which adds useful context to the school's strong academic performance.
