About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Redcar and Cleveland is a school that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 31 applications for just 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.41. Of those 31 applications, 19 were first-preference choices, and the school offered places to all 19 of those first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and it's worth noting that the school is one of only four primary schools in the local authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The most recent graded inspection, in November 2023, awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a clean sweep of Outstanding grades, which is rare and will no doubt be a major factor in the school's popularity.
