About Our Lady and St Anne's Catholic Primary School

Our Lady and St Anne's Catholic Primary School in Newcastle upon Tyne is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary that currently teaches 228 pupils, operating slightly above its official capacity of 210. The school serves a community with significant socio-economic need: 52.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 65 applications for just 23 places, with 20 of those offers going to first-preference families. That works out at nearly three applicants for every available spot, a clear signal that local parents see this as a desirable option despite the challenges its intake profile might suggest.
