About Our Lady and All Saints Roman Catholic Primary School, Parbold
Parents considering Our Lady and All Saints Roman Catholic Primary School in Parbold will find strong signals of local confidence. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 40 applications for just 13 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.08. Of those 40 applicants, 12 listed it as their first preference, and 12 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that for families who prioritise the school, the chances of securing a place are good but not guaranteed. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Outstanding across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This is the second consecutive Outstanding rating, following a 2013 inspection that also judged overall effectiveness and leadership and management as Outstanding. With only 106 pupils on roll against a capacity of 140, the school is not at full capacity, yet demand clearly outstrips supply.
