About St Edward's Catholic First School

St Edward's Catholic First School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score is 64, but as a first school taking pupils only up to age 9, it doesn't publish KS2 results in the same way. What stands out instead is how heavily oversubscribed it is: 129 applications for 50 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, a ratio of 2.58 applicants per place, with 46 first-preference offers made. That level of demand suggests local parents see something distinctive here. The school's 8.3 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is below the national average, and its Roman Catholic character will be a draw for families seeking a faith-based start. With a capacity of 300 and 278 pupils on roll, it's running close to full, which reinforces the sense of a school that local families are actively choosing.
