About St Ignatius RC Primary School
Parents at St Ignatius RC Primary School are overwhelmingly positive, with 90% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025, drew on the views of ten families, and the results show strong satisfaction across the board. For instance, 70% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 60% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is clearly popular locally too: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 32 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.13. Of those 32 applications, 11 were first-preference choices, and all 11 of those families were offered a place. This combination of strong parental endorsement and high demand suggests a school that is well-regarded by the community it serves.
