About Saint Gregory's Catholic College

Saint Gregory's Catholic College is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 426 applications for 163 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.61. Of those, 177 families put it as their first preference, and 151 first-preference offers were made. That kind of demand suggests parents who get a place tend to be pleased with what the school offers. While the Department for Education no longer publishes the Parent View survey results in the same way it once did, the high application numbers and strong first-preference conversion rate are a clear signal of the school's standing in the Bath and North East Somerset area. It's a Roman Catholic secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, with a mixed intake and a current roll of 1,005 students, just shy of its capacity of 1,027. Headteacher Melissa George leads a school where 18.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average for state secondaries.
