About St Jerome's Catholic Primary School

St Jerome's Catholic Primary School in Sefton is a smaller-than-average primary, with 195 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. Its intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local norm: just 5.6% of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared with the national average of around 23%. The school's Roman Catholic character shapes its identity, and demand is strong. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 60 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Of those, 27 families put the school as their first preference, and all 27 received offers. That level of competition suggests a school that local parents are actively seeking out, and the fact that every first-preference applicant secured a place points to a catchment that works well for committed families.
