All Saints' Catholic High School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 211 families put All Saints' Catholic High School as their first choice and 426 named it as one of their preferences, for 205 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 239 first choices in 2021, against 211 in 2026.
Across Sheffield, 89% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 97% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Sheffield lodged 236 appeals against secondary school offers; 139 reached a hearing and 49 succeeded (35.3% of those heard).
