St Rose's Catholic Infant School
About St Rose's Catholic Infant School
St Rose's Catholic Infant School is a popular choice among local families, with 113 applications for just 59 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 92. Of those, 56 first-preference offers were made from 59 first-preference applications, meaning the vast majority of families who put it top got a place, but competition remains stiff. The school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so it's harder to gauge direct satisfaction levels, but the high demand suggests strong local reputation. As a Roman Catholic infant school in Dacorum, Hertfordshire, it serves children from age 2 to 7, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Michelle Anderton leads a school of 218 pupils, just under its capacity of 225, and 5. 9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average.
