About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, Weymouth

St Augustine's Catholic Primary School in Weymouth sits within the Dorset local authority, where it ranks 36th out of 119 primary schools of the same type. That places it just inside the top half of its peers, though some distance behind the top three in the area: Spetisbury CofE Primary School, St Ives Primary & Nursery School, and Sticklands Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Marcella Romano. With 205 pupils on roll against a capacity of 243, it is not at full capacity, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: 59 families applied for 27 places, and all 27 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That suggests strong local demand, particularly among Catholic families, though the school is open to all. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 17.6%, slightly above the national average for primary schools.
