About Bannockburn Primary School

Bannockburn Primary School is a large state primary in Greenwich, operating as a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 3 to 11. With 880 pupils on roll against a capacity of 892, it is effectively full, and the demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 181 applications for 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.01, and 84 of those applications were first-preference offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.6 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively mixed catchment. The school also offers nursery provision, and its facilities include a Forest School, gymnasium, library, art studios, playing fields and even a chapel, which is unusual for a school with no religious character. Parent opinion is broadly positive: 75 per cent of respondents to the Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 81 per cent strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy there.
