About All Saints Catholic College

All Saints Catholic College is a mixed, 11-16 state secondary in Kensington and Chelsea that is currently home to 846 pupils against a capacity of 900, meaning it is running very close to full. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 41.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for secondary schools and points to a community with considerable socioeconomic need. Demand for places is exceptionally high. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 779 applications for 165 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.72 to one. Of those, 246 families put it as their first preference, and 127 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition suggests that local parents see it as a strong option, and the school’s Catholic character likely adds to its appeal for families seeking a faith-based secondary education in the borough.

Academically, the school is performing well above the local average. Its Progress 8 score of 0.69 means pupils achieve nearly three-quarters of a grade more per subject than pupils nationally with similar starting points, and it comfortably beats the Kensington and Chelsea local authority average of 0.4. This places All Saints second out of six schools in the borough on Progress 8, behind only The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial RC School, and in the top 10% nationally. Attainment 8 sits at 53.9, and 74.8% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics measure). The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2022, awarded an overall rating of Outstanding, with Outstanding grades for quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This marks an improvement from its previous Good rating in 2013.

The school offers a wide range of facilities including a gymnasium, astro turf, theatre, science labs, sports hall, and a chapel. Sports provision covers basketball, athletics, gymnastics, swimming, badminton, hockey, and cricket, while extracurricular clubs include book club, drama, debate, choir, eco club, chess, newspaper, and coding. For SEND, the school has a resourced provision and supports pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, hearing impairment, multi-sensory impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. There is no sixth form or nursery provision. Given its strong academic outcomes, high demand, and Catholic ethos, this school will particularly suit families who prioritise a faith-based secondary education with proven results and a diverse, inclusive intake.
