About St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy

St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy sits within Wolverhampton local authority, a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 38th out of 60 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the bottom half of its peer group. For context, the top-performing schools in the same area include St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School, Oak Meadow Primary School, and Parkfield Primary School, all of which scored higher on the same ranking metric. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 67 applications for just 29 places, with 30 of those applications coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even if the raw ranking doesn't put it among the top tier. The school also has a nursery provision, catering for children from age three, and its capacity is listed at 210 pupils, though it currently has 248 on roll, indicating it is operating above its stated capacity.
