About St Louis Catholic Primary School

St Louis Catholic Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 133 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.22. Of those 133 applicants, 65 put St Louis as their first preference, and 59 of those first-preference families were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though it also means securing a place is competitive. The school is led by headteacher Catherine Machin and has a Roman Catholic religious character, though it is a state-funded primary open to mixed genders from ages 2 to 11. It also offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
