About St Chad's CofE (VC) First School

Parents considering St Chad’s CofE First School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for just 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 57. Of those, 21 were first-preference applications, and all 21 first-preference families were offered a place. That means every parent who put St Chad’s as their top choice got in, but the overall demand still outstrips supply by more than half. The school is small — just 110 pupils against a capacity of 150 — so it’s not bursting at the seams, but the pattern suggests a reputation that draws families from the local area. There’s no parent-view survey data available here, so we can’t quote a recommend percentage, but the oversubscription figures alone tell you this is a school that local parents are actively choosing.
