About St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Primary School

St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Primary School is a smaller than average state primary, with 184 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.4%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests a more diverse intake than some of its neighbours. The school is Roman Catholic by character, which may shape the family community it attracts, though it is open to all. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for 21 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.86. Of those, 20 were first-preference applications, and 20 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place. That is a reassuring signal for parents considering it as a realistic option rather than a long shot.
