About St Theresa's Catholic Primary School

St Theresa's Catholic Primary School in Leeds is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 158 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.63. Of those 158 applications, 70 were first-preference choices, and all 60 places were offered to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to secure a place. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and an ungraded inspection in 2022, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. With 479 pupils on roll against a capacity of 481, the school is operating very close to full, which reinforces its reputation as a sought-after local option.
