About St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Lytham

St Peter's Catholic Primary School in Lytham is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a Roman Catholic character. It currently has 201 pupils on roll, just shy of its capacity of 210, so there is a little breathing room in terms of space. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.9%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the school serves a more diverse socioeconomic intake than many of its neighbours. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 67 applications for just 28 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.39. All 28 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is popular, families who put it first have a very good chance of getting in. The headteacher is Cate Gili-Ross, who leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across its two most recent inspections.
