Saint Gregory's Catholic College: 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, 159 families put Saint Gregory's Catholic College as their first choice and 436 named it as one of their preferences, for 165 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: 184 first choices in 2021, against 159 in 2026.
Across Bath and North East Somerset, 88% 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 Bath and North East Somerset lodged 33 appeals against secondary school offers; 20 reached a hearing and 6 succeeded (30% of those heard).
