St Wulstan's Catholic Primary School
About St Wulstan's Catholic Primary School
If you're looking at St Wulstan's Catholic Primary School, the first thing you'll notice is how strongly parents feel about it. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 96% of the 24 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's backed up by some striking individual scores: every single parent agreed that their child is happy at the school, with 79% strongly agreeing, and 96% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is another standout area — again, 79% of parents strongly agreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is also clearly popular on the ground: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 22 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.75. All 8 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with nearly three times as many applications as spots, it's a school you'd want to have firmly on your radar early.
