School overview

It has 235 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll.

There are about 22.6 pupils per teacher. St Theresa's Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
