About St Augustine's Catholic Primary and Nursery School, A Voluntary Academy

St Augustine’s Catholic Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 339 pupils against a capacity of 356. That leaves only a handful of spare places, and the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 59 applications for just 32 reception places, with 29 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.84, meaning nearly two families compete for every spot. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 23% of children eligible for free school meals — a figure that sits above the national primary average of around 23% but reflects the local context of Nottingham, a city with higher-than-average deprivation. The school also offers nursery provision, which may help families secure a place before the formal reception round. With a Roman Catholic character and a headteacher in Frances Moore, the school draws families who prioritise faith-based education within a state setting.
