About St Teresa's RC Primary School

St Teresa's RC Primary School is a small Roman Catholic state primary in Trafford, one of the North West's strongest local authorities for primary education. With 153 pupils on roll, it sits well below its capacity of 210, and the school is significantly oversubscribed: for 14 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 32 applications, all of them first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.29. That demand makes sense in context — Trafford has 63 primary schools, and the top performers locally include St Vincent's Catholic Primary, Park Road Academy and Brooklands Primary, all of which score above 90 on the ranking metric. St Teresa's itself ranks 51st out of 55 in the LA, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2023, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. The school serves a community with above-average disadvantage: 32.4 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
