About St Paul's Catholic Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey for St Paul's Catholic Primary School, covering September 2024 to September 2025, shows that 95% of the 38 respondents would recommend the school to other parents. That's a very strong signal, and it's backed up by the detail: 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular with local families, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, St Paul's received 54 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those 54 applications, 25 were first-preference choices, and all 25 of those families received an offer. So while getting a place isn't guaranteed, putting the school as your top choice clearly gives you a very strong chance.
