About St Margaret of Scotland Catholic Primary School

St Margaret of Scotland Catholic Primary School in Luton is a state-funded, mixed Roman Catholic primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is currently full to the brim. With 453 pupils on roll against a capacity of 450, the school is effectively at capacity, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 82 applications for just 49 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.67. Only 48 of those 82 applicants listed it as their first preference, meaning every first-preference child was offered a place, but families further down their list faced a competitive entry. The school serves a community with a higher-than-average level of disadvantage; 22.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared to the national primary average of around 23.8%, placing it slightly below that national benchmark but still significantly above the Luton average for primary schools. This suggests a diverse intake, with a notable proportion of families who may benefit from the school’s wraparound and pastoral support.
