About St Theresa's Catholic Primary School

St Theresa's Catholic Primary School is a small state primary in the London borough of Barnet, where it sits comfortably among the top performers in the local authority. Out of 80 primary schools in Barnet, it ranks 6th, placing it in the top 5% of schools in the area. Its ranking score of 87 puts it in the company of the borough's strongest peers, including Courtland School, St Andrew's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School in Totteridge, and Ashmole Primary School. The school is oversubscribed, receiving 49 applications for just 9 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 8 of those offers going to first-preference families. That works out at more than five applicants per place, a clear sign of its popularity among local parents. Headteacher Barbara Costa leads a school with a Roman Catholic character, and the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least 2015.
