About English Martyrs' Roman Catholic Primary School

English Martyrs' Roman Catholic Primary School in Southwark is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 45 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.37. Of those 45 applicants, 18 put the school as their first preference, and all 18 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests strong parent confidence, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey result to back that up directly. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a nursery provision attached. It currently has 328 pupils on roll, very close to its capacity of 330, and a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 46.7 per cent.
