About Our Lady of Peace Catholic Primary and Nursery School

Our Lady of Peace Catholic Primary and Nursery School sits within the Slough local authority, where it ranks 7th out of 26 primary schools based on its Key Stage 2 outcomes. That puts it comfortably in the top quarter of schools locally, though it sits behind three top-performing peers: Iqra Slough Islamic Primary School, James Elliman Academy, and Khalsa Primary School. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 88 applications for 42 places, with 40 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation. The school is led by headteacher N Stopps and has a capacity of 420 pupils, with 401 currently enrolled. Just over 11% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average and points to a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in the area.
