About St Francis de Sales RC Junior School

St Francis de Sales RC Junior School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in Haringey, and its intake tells a story of a school serving a community with significant need. The school is oversubscribed in terms of its physical capacity: it currently has 266 pupils on roll against a stated capacity of 240, suggesting strong local demand for places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 42.9%, which is notably high compared with the national average for primary schools and indicates that the school draws from a catchment area with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. As a junior school, it takes children from age 7 to 11, and its religious character as a Roman Catholic school will be a key factor for many families considering it. The headteacher is James Lane, who leads a mixed-gender school in the London borough of Haringey.
