About Our Lady Mother of the Saviour Catholic Primary School

Our Lady Mother of the Saviour Catholic Primary School is a state primary in Halton with a clear local identity: it has 192 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, meaning it is not quite full but still oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 29 applications for 17 places, with all 17 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.71. That demand makes sense given the school’s intake profile: 53.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a strong signal that this is a genuinely inclusive, inner-urban Catholic school serving a diverse community. The school has nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it is mixed throughout. Its Roman Catholic character is reflected in the on-site chapel, and the headteacher is Michelle Kewn. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good, and the school was noted as remaining Good in an ungraded visit that same year.
