About St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Cheshire East is a state-funded voluntary academy with a published capacity of 230 pupils, serving children aged 4 to 11. As a Roman Catholic school, its intake reflects a faith-based community, though the data does not specify whether places are prioritised by religious affiliation. The school’s demand signal is unclear from the available information — there is no mention of oversubscription or waiting lists — so it is not possible to say whether it is heavily sought after locally. For context, the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) is not provided in the data, so comparisons with the national average or the Cheshire East local authority cannot be made here. What is known is that the school is mixed-gender and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, which is typical for a primary. The school sits within a local authority that contains 123 primary schools of the same type, 13 of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.
