About All Saints' CofE Primary School
All Saints' CofE Primary School in Merton is a Church of England state primary that currently teaches 332 pupils, well within its capacity of 420. The school serves a community with a notable proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 31.1%, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 155 applications for 53 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.92 applicants per place. Of those, 32 were first-preference offers, suggesting that local families are actively choosing the school. The school has a nursery provision, catering for children from age 3, and is led by headteacher Angela Filsell. Its religious character as Church of England is reflected in the on-site chapel, one of several facilities including a sensory room, music rooms, and an ICT suite.
Academically, All Saints' performs well above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 76% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, compared to the Merton average of 68%. This places the school 11th out of 42 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top quarter locally. In reading, the average scaled score was 107, with 34% of pupils achieving a higher standard; in maths, the average score was 103, with 7% reaching the higher standard. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025 rated behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, as Outstanding, while the quality of education and early years provision were both judged Good. The previous inspection in 2010 also rated the school Good overall, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time.
The school offers a broad range of sports including athletics, football, tennis, netball, and swimming, plus clubs such as chess, drama, coding, and choir. For children with special educational needs, the school lists provisions for dyslexia, speech and language communication needs, autistic spectrum disorder, social and emotional mental health needs, and physical disabilities. Parent feedback is very positive: 93% of respondents to the Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 73% strongly agreed that their child is happy there. With oversubscription at nearly three-to-one, families considering All Saints' should be prepared to apply early and make it a first preference. It suits families who value a Church of England ethos, strong personal development, and a school that achieves above-average results while serving a diverse intake.
