About St Theresa's Catholic Primary School

St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School in Sheffield is a state-funded primary that currently teaches 235 pupils, well above its official capacity of 210. That overspill is a practical sign of local demand, and the school’s admission data for 2025/26 confirms the picture: 30 places attracted 68 total applications, with 36 families listing it as their first preference. The oversubscription ratio of 2.27 means more than two children applied for every place, and all 30 first-preference offers were taken up. The school’s free school meal rate of 25.1% is noticeably higher than the national average for primary schools (around 23%), suggesting a catchment that includes a fair share of families facing financial pressure. As a Roman Catholic school, its intake is shaped by faith-based admissions criteria, though the religious character doesn’t appear to limit its appeal — the oversubscription figures suggest it’s a popular choice well beyond its immediate parish.
