St Anne Line Catholic Infant School
About St Anne Line Catholic Infant School
St Anne Line Catholic Infant School in Basildon is a state primary for children aged 2 to 7, and it is running very close to capacity with 178 pupils against a school capacity of 180. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.2%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools in England, suggesting a relatively less deprived intake than many of its peers. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 110 applications for 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83. Of those applicants, 60 put it as their first preference, and 55 first-preference offers were made, meaning nearly all families who wanted a place here got one, but competition remains high for the remaining spots. As a Roman Catholic school, its intake will also be shaped by its faith-based admissions criteria, which typically prioritise children from practising Catholic families within the parish.
