About St Peter's Catholic Primary School

St Peter's Catholic Primary School in Doncaster is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 208 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.9 per cent, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools and suggests a broadly mixed intake. The school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 45 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. Of those, 24 were first-preference applications, and exactly 24 first-preference offers were made, meaning that almost every family who put it first secured a place, but the overall competition for remaining places was significant. This level of oversubscription signals a strong local reputation, particularly among Catholic families in the Doncaster area.
