St John Bosco RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
About St John Bosco RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
If you are a parent considering St John Bosco RC Primary School, the first thing you will want to know is how other families feel about it. Unfortunately, the school does not currently have a published Parent View recommendation percentage in its data, so that particular signal is unavailable. What is clear, however, is that the school is not oversubscribed. With a capacity of 240 pupils, it has room to take on new families, which may be a practical advantage if you are looking for a guaranteed place in Manchester. The school is a Roman Catholic voluntary academy, so faith-based admissions criteria will apply, but the lack of a waiting list suggests that securing a spot is more straightforward than at some of the city’s more heavily oversubscribed primaries. The headteacher is L Pearson, and the school offers nursery provision for children from age three, making it a viable option for families wanting an early start in a Catholic setting.
