St Gregory's Catholic Primary School
About St Gregory's Catholic Primary School
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, with a Roman Catholic character. It currently has 208 pupils on roll, just two shy of its official capacity of 210, meaning the school is operating at near-full occupancy. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.7%, which is notably lower than the national average and suggests a relatively affluent local intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 85 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.83. Of those, 41 were first-preference applications, and 29 first-preference offers were made, indicating that most families who put the school first were successful, but competition remains high. The school is led by headteacher Laura Cole and was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a rating it has held consistently across both its recorded inspections.
