About St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy

If you’re a parent weighing up St Patrick’s Catholic Primary Academy, the numbers suggest it’s a school that local families are keen to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 113 applications for 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.88. Of those 113 applicants, 54 put it as their first preference, and all 54 were offered a place. That level of demand is a solid signal of parent confidence, though it’s worth noting the school isn’t so oversubscribed that it feels out of reach for families who live nearby or meet its faith-based criteria. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a capacity of 420 and currently 410 pupils on roll. Headteacher Rebecca Holmes leads the school, which was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, and the report confirmed the school remains Good following an ungraded visit.
