- Other baptised Catholic children with a parent who is a practising Catholic, by straight-line distance.
- Any other children (after the school's other faith and looked-after categories), siblings first, then by straight-line distance.
Read the official rules: St Anselm's Catholic Primary School: Admissions Policy 2027-2028. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
Things to know before you apply for September 2027

Questions about St Anselm's Catholic Primary School
How far away do you need to live to get into St Anselm's Catholic Primary School?
In 2022, 2024 and 2026, places ran out before the distance criterion was reached, so living nearby wasn’t enough on its own. We don’t have a usable distance figure for 2023 and 2025. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.
Do siblings get priority at St Anselm's Catholic Primary School?
Yes, within one of its priority groups. Under the 2026 admission rules, faith criterion 1 is “Baptised Catholic children with a parent who is a practising Catholic, with a brother or sister at the school”. Among the remaining children (the distance criterion), siblings are ranked first. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.
How many applications does St Anselm's Catholic Primary School get?
In 2026, St Anselm's Catholic Primary School received 94 applications for 30 Reception places: about 3.1 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.
When do you apply to St Anselm's Catholic Primary School for a Reception place in September 2027?
