About Belleville Primary School

Belleville Primary School in Wandsworth is a large state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 720 pupils against a capacity of 922, so there is room to grow. Its intake reflects a notably mixed demographic: 16% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average but not unusually high for an inner London school. The real story here is demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 518 applications for just 148 total places, with 178 families listing it as their first preference. That works out to an oversubscription ratio of 3.5 applicants per place, and only 140 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition signals a school that local families are actively prioritising, and it’s easy to see why when you look at the consistency of its provision.
