About St Paul's Catholic Primary School

Parents at St Paul's Catholic Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 95% of the 82 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a very strong signal. The detail backs it up: 99% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 98% felt their child is safe. On communication, 100% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 96% said the school lets them know how their child is doing. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 50 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.08. All 24 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers show demand significantly outstrips supply, so getting a spot is competitive.
