About St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School

St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School in Oxford is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, with a current roll of 203 children against a capacity of 240. That leaves some physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 57 applications for just 17 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.35 to one. All 17 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning the school is popular but not impossible to get into for those who prioritise it. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.4%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), suggesting the intake draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. The school has a Roman Catholic religious character, which likely shapes its admissions criteria, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children. Headteacher Hannah Tebb leads a school that, while not full to the brim, clearly commands strong local interest.
