Catholic primary school admissions in North London and St Catherine's

[ellieF84]

Hi, does anyone have experience with signing up for primary school as a catholic parent? We're looking into options, any experience with St. Catherine's High Barnet? We'd be willing to move anywhere in North London for school. If we're not living nearby yet when we sign up, how likely is it that we'd get a place? In other words, are catholic primary schools oversubscribed with catholic families? I know from colleagues that some of the RC schools near Hendon/Golders Green are not 100% catholic, is that also the case at St. Catherine's?

Thanks for any insight anyone would have, our child is still a toddler and we're new to the school sign up process.

I don’t know Barnet - friends of ours sent their daughter to St Joan of Arc in Islington. They were extremely happy with it.

I think it is one of the schools that ambitious parents really want. I will say that they moved out of London for secondary though.
