St. Peter's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 24 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 0.07 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. There are about 21.0 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
