About Our Lady & St Edward Primary & Nursery Catholic Voluntary Academy

Our Lady & St Edward Primary & Nursery Catholic Voluntary Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 36 first-preference applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school is officially oversubscribed, receiving 55 total applications for those 30 spots, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83. Of the 30 places, 29 were offered to first-preference applicants, suggesting that for most families who put it top of their list, it worked out. Parent satisfaction is not formally measured here, but the demand alone signals a strong local reputation. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed genders from age 3 to 11, with its own nursery provision, and is led by headteacher Rachel Byrne. It currently has 245 pupils on roll against a capacity of 268, so there is a little breathing room, though the oversubscription figures show that won't last.
