About Heber Primary School

Heber Primary School in Southwark is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school currently has 434 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 420, which suggests it is running full. The demand is confirmed by the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 278 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.63 to one. Of those, 84 families put Heber as their first preference, and 55 of those were offered a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.2%, which is lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively less deprived intake compared with many schools nationally. The school has no religious character, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three.
