Immanuel and St Andrew Church of England Primary School
About Immanuel and St Andrew Church of England Primary School
Immanuel and St Andrew Church of England Primary School in Lambeth is a state primary that is running very close to full capacity, with 417 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 420. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many of its Lambeth neighbours. Demand for places is extremely high: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 214 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.57 to one. Of those applicants, 61 put the school as their first preference, and 51 of those were offered a place, meaning that even among families who really wanted to get in, around one in six missed out. This level of competition places the school firmly among the most sought-after primaries in the borough, and it is worth noting that the nearest Outstanding-rated alternative, St Andrew's Catholic Primary School, is only 0.7 km away, giving local families a strong nearby option if they miss out here.
