The school has 231 pupils on roll, exceeding its official capacity of 210, and received 74 total applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. Of those, 36 were first-preference applications, and 30 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.47 applicants per place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.9 per cent, which is above the national average for primary schools in England, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is mixed-gender and caters for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The headteacher is Katherine Ryan, and the school operates under a Roman Catholic religious character, which may be a factor for families seeking a faith-based education.
