About Saint Peters Catholic Voluntary Academy

Saint Peters Catholic Voluntary Academy is a state primary in Hinckley and Bosworth that is clearly popular with local families. With 202 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is running very close to full, and its admission data for the 2025/26 intake confirms strong demand: 42 applications were received for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. Of those, 18 were first-preference applications, and 18 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it top got a place, but competition for the remaining single spot was fierce. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.9%, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. The school is a Roman Catholic voluntary academy, and its headteacher is Siobhan Minford, who leads a mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 11.
