About Holy Trinity and Saint Silas CofE Primary School, NW1
Holy Trinity and Saint Silas CofE Primary School in Camden is a Church of England state primary that operates close to capacity, with 204 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 210. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 31.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools in England and reflects the inner-London community it draws from. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 69 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. Of those, 33 families put it as their first preference, and 25 first-preference offers were made, indicating that while competition is real, a first-choice application gives a decent chance of securing a spot. The school is mixed-gender and caters for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth-form provision.
