About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

St Augustine's Catholic Primary School in Coventry is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently educating 333 pupils against a capacity of 420, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 21.7%, which is above the national average for primary schools and reflects the school's role in serving a diverse local community. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 59 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.57. Of those, 18 were first-preference applications, and all 18 received offers, suggesting that families who put the school first are likely to secure a spot. The school has a Roman Catholic religious character and offers nursery provision, making it a natural choice for Catholic families in the area, though its intake data suggests it draws from a broad catchment.
