About St Gabriel's Catholic Primary School

St Gabriel's Catholic Primary School in Tamworth is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently educating 372 children against a capacity of 407. That leaves around 35 spare places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 62 applications for just 33 places, with 31 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.88, meaning nearly two families apply for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.8%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 17% and suggests the school serves a reasonably diverse socioeconomic mix. Headteacher William Bright leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and an ungraded visit in 2022, which confirmed it remains Good.
