Questions about Our Lady Queen of Heaven RC School

In the two years with a distance cut-off (2023 and 2024), it ranged from 434 m (0.27 miles) (2024) to 1,442 m (0.90 miles) (2023). In 2022, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. In 2025 and 2026, places ran out before the distance criterion was reached, so living nearby wasn’t enough on its own. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Has everyone who applied to Our Lady Queen of Heaven RC School been offered a place in past years?
