St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy: 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, 37 families put St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy as their first choice and 73 named it as one of their preferences, for 39 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: 41 first choices in 2021, against 37 in 2026.
Across Leeds, 92% 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 Leeds lodged 258 appeals against primary school offers; 131 reached a hearing and 29 succeeded (22.1% of those heard).
