About St John the Evangelist Catholic Primary School

Parents considering St John the Evangelist Catholic Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 28 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.87. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, families who put it first have a realistic chance of getting in. The school is a state-funded Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. With 146 pupils on roll against a capacity of 195, there is some room to grow, but the oversubscription figures indicate that the school is already a firm favourite among local Catholic and community families in Stockton-on-Tees.
