About Albion Primary School

Albion Primary School in Southwark is a popular choice among local families, with 161 applications chasing just 45 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — an oversubscription ratio of 3.58. Of those applicants, 35 put the school as their first preference, and all 35 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to get their children in. The school itself is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a mixed intake and no religious character. It currently has 434 pupils on roll, just shy of its 480 capacity, and 40 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the diverse, inner-city community it serves.
