About Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School

Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School is the top-ranked primary in Lambeth, coming first out of 54 schools in the local authority. Its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Iqra Primary School, just 0.7 km away, and its closest peers by ranking score include Stockwell Primary School and St Andrew's Catholic Primary School, both scoring 94. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. Headteacher Jean Connery leads a school that is oversubscribed by a significant margin: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 158 applications for 60 places, with 78 first-preference applications and only 59 first-preference offers. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.63, meaning families need to be keen to secure a spot. With 402 pupils on roll against a capacity of 443, the school is running close to full, and 19.3 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
