St Teresa's Catholic (A) Primary School
About St Teresa's Catholic (A) Primary School
Parents considering St Teresa’s Catholic Primary will be reassured by the strong signals of local demand. The school received 73 applications for 44 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.66 applicants per place. Of those, 43 families put it as their first preference, and 43 first-preference offers were made — meaning almost every family who wanted it most got a spot, but competition remains real. That kind of popularity often reflects word-of-mouth reputation, and while the school doesn’t publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the numbers speak for themselves. It’s a Roman Catholic primary in Stoke-on-Trent, with a nursery provision for three-year-olds, so it suits families looking for a faith-based start from the earliest years. Headteacher Nathan Price leads a school of 346 pupils, just shy of its 360 capacity, which suggests a settled, full roll.
