About St Mary's CofE Primary School

For parents weighing up St Mary's CofE Primary School, the practical signals are mixed but revealing. In its most recent admissions round for 2025/26, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 66 applications for 53 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.25. Of those, 33 families put it as their first preference, and all 33 received an offer — meaning every family who really wanted a place got one. That suggests a school that is popular but not impossibly competitive. There is no parent-view survey data available here, so the strongest signal of parental satisfaction is that first-preference fill rate. The school serves a notably diverse intake, with 35.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and it has a Church of England character that may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting.
