About St Catherine's Catholic Primary School, Littlehampton

St Catherine's Catholic Primary School in Littlehampton is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across the board — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. That turnaround in leadership, behaviour, personal development and early years provision is worth noting, especially given the local context: only 7 out of 226 primary schools in West Sussex currently hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is a solid and common benchmark. The school is oversubscribed by a ratio of 3.07, with 92 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, and 29 of those 30 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests parents in the area see real value here. With 212 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is effectively full, and the 18.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly above the national average, indicating a genuinely mixed intake.
