About Hawksmoor School

Hawksmoor School is a popular choice among Greenwich families, with 20 first-preference applications for its 22 reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school is oversubscribed, receiving 81 total applications and an oversubscription ratio of 3.68, meaning nearly four families applied for every available spot. This level of demand suggests strong local confidence in the school, though it’s worth noting that the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, Windrush Thamesmead, is just 0.3 km away, giving families a nearby alternative. ParentView data isn’t available here, but the high first-preference rate (20 out of 22 places went to first-choice families) is a practical signal of satisfaction. With 326 pupils against a capacity of 420, the school isn’t at full roll yet, so there may be some room for late applicants, though competition remains stiff for the main intake.
