About St Peter's Catholic Primary School

St Peter's Catholic Primary School in Wirral is a popular choice among local families, with its most recent admissions data for the 2025/26 intake showing it was oversubscribed. The school received 17 total applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.21, and all 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a solid local reputation, though parent-view survey data isn't available in the school's records to give a direct recommendation percentage. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed genders aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has a capacity of 210 pupils and currently enrols 202, so it is running very close to full. The headteacher is Sarah Parry, and the school community is notably diverse in terms of economic background, with 71.4 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
