About St Peter's Catholic Primary School - a Catholic voluntary academy

St Peter's Catholic Primary School in North Yorkshire is a state-funded Roman Catholic voluntary academy that currently teaches 229 pupils, operating slightly above its official capacity of 210. This oversubscription is reflected in its admission data for the 2025/26 academic year, where the school received 98 total applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 38. Of those applicants, 36 listed it as their first preference, and all 29 first-preference offers were taken up. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11. 8%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with many state primaries. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged three and above, which feeds into the main school. With a Roman Catholic religious character, the school will naturally appeal to Catholic families in the area, though its popularity among first-preference applicants indicates a broader local demand.
