About St Botolph's Church of England Primary School

St Botolph's Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among Peterborough families, with 34 of the 35 places available for the 2025/26 intake going to first-preference applicants. The school received 83 applications in total, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.37, meaning more than two families applied for every place. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so it's not possible to gauge satisfaction through that particular metric. The school is led by headteacher Rachel Rayner and has a Church of England religious character, which may appeal to families seeking a faith-based primary education. With 371 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating below its maximum, leaving some room for late applicants or in-year admissions.
