About Lady Margaret Primary School

Lady Margaret Primary School in Ealing is a mixed state primary for ages 4 to 11, currently teaching 481 pupils against a capacity of 630, so there is room to grow. Its intake reflects a diverse community: 25.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23% and notably higher than the Ealing local authority average, which tends to sit closer to 15% for primary schools. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 165 applications for just 49 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.37 to one. Of those, 48 first-preference families were offered a spot, meaning nearly every first-choice applicant succeeded, but competition from outside that group was fierce. This suggests a school that is popular locally but not yet at full capacity, with a genuine mix of backgrounds that reflects the wider Southall area.
