About Our Lady of Compassion Catholic Primary School

Parents considering Our Lady of Compassion Catholic Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 90 applications for just 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.25, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those 90 applications, 37 were first-preference choices, and all 37 received an offer. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among local families, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey result to back that up. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has 335 pupils on roll, just under its capacity of 351, and 13.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average.
