About Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Academy

If you're a parent considering Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Academy, the feedback from other families is a strong starting point. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, every single parent who responded said they would recommend the school to another parent. That's a 100% recommend rate from 19 respondents. The sentiment is echoed in the detail: 100% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe at school. The school is also clearly popular locally. For its 2025/26 Reception intake, it received 20 applications for just 14 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.43 applicants per place. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, but the numbers show it's a school where securing a place isn't guaranteed, so it's worth having it high on your list.
