About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

Parents considering St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Nottingham will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 60 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. Of those applications, 28 were first-preference choices, meaning almost every place went to a family who had listed St Mary’s as their top pick. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among local parents, though it’s worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey or a specific recommendation percentage, so we can’t quantify satisfaction directly. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Headteacher Kerry O’Neill leads a school that currently has 239 pupils, slightly above its official capacity of 210, which may explain the competition for places.
