About St Mary & St Joseph Catholic Primary School - a Catholic voluntary academy

St Mary & St Joseph Catholic Primary School is a small Roman Catholic state primary in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and it is genuinely oversubscribed. The school has 115 pupils on roll against a capacity of 112, meaning it is effectively full. For the 2025/26 intake, it offered 14 first-preference places from 30 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.14. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all 14 first-preference offers were taken up, leaving no room for second or third choices. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.5%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and suggests a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally. The school serves children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher S O'Donnell. Its Catholic character is likely a key factor in its popularity, particularly for local families seeking a faith-based primary education.
