About St Vincent's Catholic Primary School

St Vincent's Catholic Primary School in Barnet is a popular choice among local families, with 80 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67. Every one of those 30 first-preference applicants received an offer, which suggests the school is a realistic first choice for many parents rather than a fallback. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 2 to 11, led by headteacher Marie Tuohy. It currently has 296 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, so there is a small amount of spare capacity. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2024, confirmed the school remains Good, the same overall rating it received in its previous graded inspection in 2019. The early years provision was also rated Good in that 2019 inspection, having previously been Outstanding in 2008.
