About St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School

St Bernadette’s Catholic Primary School in Milton Keynes is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for ages 3 to 11, with a Roman Catholic character. It currently has 419 pupils against a capacity of 450, meaning it is very close to full but not yet oversubscribed in terms of total places. However, the demand signal is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 82 applications for 36 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.28, and 32 of those 82 were first-preference offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.8%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools nationally. The school’s headteacher is Jane Zamora, and it has a nursery provision, so it takes children from age 3.
