About Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School

Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School in Lewisham is a smaller-than-average primary, with 185 pupils against a capacity of 210. The school serves a community with significant economic need: 44.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. This context is important when reading the school's demand signal. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 75 applications for just 16 places, making it heavily oversubscribed with a ratio of 4.69 applicants per place. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, suggesting that while competition is fierce, local families who prioritise the school stand a strong chance. The school has a Church of England religious character and offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for a faith-based start from age three.
