About Cranmer Primary School

Cranmer Primary School in Merton is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, and it is noticeably popular with local families. The school has capacity for 524 children but currently houses 460, leaving some physical room to grow. However, the demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 106 applications for just 55 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those, 46 were first-preference applications, and all 46 received offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 36.5%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a diverse intake with a higher-than-typical level of socio-economic disadvantage. The school is non-religious and has a nursery provision, so it serves families from the earliest years through to the end of Key Stage 2.
