St Gregory's Catholic Primary School
About St Gregory's Catholic Primary School
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School in Liverpool is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary that is currently running well above its official capacity. With 243 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 210, the school is clearly in high demand locally. That demand is backed up by the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 39 applications for 30 places, with 29 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.39. The school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage — 47.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and places it among the more deprived intakes in the Liverpool area. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age 2, meaning families can start their child's education here early. Headteacher Michelle Roney leads a mixed-gender primary that is popular enough to turn away a notable number of first-preference applicants each year.
