About Kilmorie Primary School

Kilmorie Primary School in Lewisham is a state primary that is clearly in demand among local families.

Its current roll of 629 pupils sits below the school’s capacity of 700, suggesting there is still some room for expansion. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11 per cent, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in the borough.
