About St Catherine Catholic Primary School

St Catherine Catholic Primary School in Hillingdon is clearly a popular choice among local families.

Of those, 39 families put it down as their first preference, and 27 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in the area.
