About St Mary's Church of England Primary School

St Mary's Church of England Primary School is a smaller than average state primary in Bath and North East Somerset, with 157 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. That leaves a fair amount of spare places, but the school is actually oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry: it received 23 applications for 13 places, with all 13 first-preference families offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1.77 suggests a solid local reputation, even if the school isn't bursting at the seams. The intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 38.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23% and likely higher than the Bath and North East Somerset average too. That makes St Mary's a genuinely inclusive school, drawing from a community with significant economic need. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Cathie Lampert. It offers nursery provision for children from age three, and the facilities list includes a Forest School, sensory room, chapel, and playing fields — a solid physical environment for a school of this size.
