About St Edward's Catholic Primary School

St Edward's Catholic Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 19 of the 21 places available for the 2025/26 academic year going to first-preference applicants. The school received 47 applications in total, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2. 24, meaning more than two families applied for every place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey result to back that up directly. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in North Northamptonshire, with a mixed intake of 195 pupils aged 4 to 11. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2021, rated the school Good across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That marked a clear improvement from the previous inspection in 2018, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall.
