About St Christopher's RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

St Christopher's RC Primary School in Tameside is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently led by headteacher Ian Noone. The school has a capacity of 240 pupils, and while the data does not specify current pupil numbers, the fact that it is a voluntary academy with a nursery provision suggests it serves a broad local community. Free School Meal eligibility data is not provided, so it is not possible to compare directly with the Tameside or national average, but the school's religious character and nursery offering are likely to attract families seeking a faith-based start from an early age. Admission information is not detailed in the data, so the level of oversubscription is unclear, though the school's Good Ofsted rating and strong local reputation may make it a popular choice among Catholic families in the area.
