About Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Primary School

Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Primary School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in Nottingham that is clearly in demand. With 238 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating above its official limit, and the 2025/26 admissions data confirms that pressure: 71 applications were received for just 30 places, with 33 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.37, meaning nearly two and a half families apply for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 17.7%, which is a useful benchmark for parents comparing intake across Nottingham primaries. The school also offers nursery provision, so families with younger children can get a foot in the door early. Headteacher Fiona Wadsley leads a school that, based on its popularity, clearly has a strong local reputation.
