SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy & Nursery: 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, 19 families put SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy & Nursery as their first choice and 49 named it as one of their preferences, for 28 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: 21 first choices in 2021, against 19 in 2026.
Across Wolverhampton, 93% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Wolverhampton lodged 183 appeals against primary school offers; 137 reached a hearing and 1 succeeded (0.7% of those heard).
