About Our Lady's RC Primary School

Our Lady's RC Primary School in Herefordshire is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 190 children against a capacity of 210. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 40 applications for just 17 places, with 16 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 2.35 applications per place, a strong signal of local popularity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.9%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 23% and gives a sense of the socioeconomic mix. The school is led by headteacher Aga Przybylska and operates within the Herefordshire, County of local authority. Its religious character as Roman Catholic will be a key draw for some families, though the oversubscription figures suggest its appeal extends beyond that community.
