About Our Lady's Catholic Primary School

Parents considering Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed by a ratio of 2:1, receiving 54 applications for just 27 places. Of those, 26 families put it down as their first preference, and all 26 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and it’s backed up by the parent experience: in its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was judged to have remained Good. The previous graded inspection in 2013 also rated it Good across the board, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all scoring 2. So the school has held a consistent Good rating over time, which will reassure parents looking for stability.
