St Gregory's Catholic Primary School
About St Gregory's Catholic Primary School
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School in West Northamptonshire is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary with a nursery, currently teaching 254 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves considerable room for growth, but the school is already oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 40 applications for 22 places, with 21 of those coming as first preferences. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 23.9%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a relatively mixed catchment. The headteacher is Kirstie Yuen, and the school's religious character as Roman Catholic will shape its admissions criteria, though the exact oversubscription ratio of 1.82 indicates strong local demand. With a nursery on site, families can start their child's education here from age three, and the school's size means it remains well below capacity, so there may be some flexibility for late applicants.
