About Allen Edwards Primary School

Allen Edwards Primary School in Lambeth is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for ages 3 to 11 that currently educates 375 pupils against a capacity of 460, leaving it with some physical headroom. However, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 110 applications for 44 places, with 39 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 45.1%, well above the national average and a clear indicator of the diverse, inner-London community the school serves. Under headteacher Louise Robertson, the school has a non-religious character and offers nursery provision. Its intake profile suggests a school that is genuinely inclusive and well-regarded locally, with enough demand to be oversubscribed but not so fiercely competitive that securing a place feels out of reach for families living nearby.
