About St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School, Bracknell

St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School in Bracknell is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 68 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. Of those applications, 29 were first-preference choices, and 27 of those families were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in the area, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey result, so we cannot report a specific recommend percentage. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a headteacher named Anne Mulholland. It is a relatively small school, with 206 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, and 7.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average.
