About Fulham Primary School

Fulham Primary School is a state primary for ages 3 to 11 in Hammersmith and Fulham, and its intake data tells a story of a small school with significant local demand. The school has capacity for 390 pupils but currently houses just 183, meaning it operates at less than half its physical size. That spare capacity isn’t a sign of low popularity, though: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 84 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.8 to one. Only 22 of those 84 offers went to first-preference families, suggesting many local parents are listing it high but missing out. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 42.4%, well above the national primary average of around 23%, reflecting a genuinely diverse socioeconomic intake. The school is non-religious, mixed-gender, and led by headteacher Seamus Gibbons. It also offers nursery provision, so families with younger children can get a foot in the door early.
