About Our Lady's Catholic Primary School

Our Lady's Catholic Primary School in Stockport is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.36. That means more than four families applied for every available spot, and only 10 of the 11 first-preference applicants were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, this level of demand is a strong signal in itself. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, with a current roll of 170 against a capacity of 210. Headteacher Anna Core leads a school where 36.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average, suggesting a genuinely inclusive intake.
