About Gallions Primary School

Gallions Primary School in Newham is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 460 pupils against a total capacity of 660. That leaves a fair amount of physical space, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 139 applications for 60 places, with 71 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.32, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 38.9%, which is notably higher than the national primary average and reflects the school’s inner-London context in a borough with significant deprivation. The school does not have a religious character, and its headteacher is Claire Ormerod. It also offers nursery provision, so families with younger children can get a foot in the door early.
