About St Vincents Catholic Primary School, Newcastle

For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 70 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. That means for every place, more than two families applied, and even among first-preference applications, there were 34 for those 30 spots. It's a clear signal that local parents rate it highly. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Angela Ness. With 209 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it's essentially full.
