St Edmund Campion Catholic Primary School
About St Edmund Campion Catholic Primary School
St Edmund Campion Catholic Primary School in Rushcliffe is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a capacity of 420 places and currently houses 373 pupils, leaving some room for growth. However, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 77 applications for just 40 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. All 38 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is oversubscribed, those who put it first stand a good chance. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.4%, which is notably lower than the national average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school holds a Roman Catholic religious character, which will be a key consideration for families prioritising faith-based education.
