Admission criteria at Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School
If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 admission rules offer places in this order:
- Baptised Catholic children from practising Catholic families (with a Certificate of Practice).
- Other baptised Catholic children.
- Children of other faiths, Churches and denominations.
- Other children living in the parish of Our Lady of Pity and St Simon Stock.
- Any other children. Under the school's policy, ties within a category are settled by random ballot, not by distance.
Our data doesn’t include separate rules for every year, so where a year’s rules are missing we use the nearest year’s.
Read the official rules: Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School: Admissions Policy 2027-28. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.

- Any remaining ties are settled by a random ballot, not by distance, so the council publishes no distance cut-off for this school.
- In 2026, non-Catholic children living in the parish came ahead of other children.
- Children with an EHC plan naming the school are admitted first.
- Distance is not used to rank applicants under the current policy (random ballot within each category).
