About St Teresa's Catholic Primary School

St Teresa's Catholic Primary School in Bristol is a state primary that is effectively full, with 209 pupils against a capacity of 210. The school serves a community where 12.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools in England (typically around 23-24%), suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many other schools in the city. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 93 applications for just 30 places, with 41 of those listing it as their first preference. This oversubscription ratio of 3.1 to one, and the fact that only 29 first-preference offers were made, signals a popular choice among local families, particularly those seeking a Roman Catholic ethos. The school is mixed and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery provision on site.
