About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School is a small, oversubscribed state primary in Warrington that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 23 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.64, and all 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents, though no direct parent-view survey data is available in this profile to confirm satisfaction rates. The school is a Roman Catholic mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It currently has 157 pupils against a capacity of 200, so there is some physical room to grow, but the oversubscription figures show that popularity is outpacing places. The headteacher is David Bentley, and the school sits within the Warrington local authority in the North West.
