About Lansbury Lawrence Primary School

Lansbury Lawrence Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 134 applications for just 59 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. Of those 134 applicants, 55 put the school down as their first preference, and 55 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 awarded it an overall rating of Outstanding, a significant step up from its previous Good rating in 2013. The inspection report gave top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision were all judged Outstanding. The school is led by headteacher Owen O’regan and serves 452 pupils, slightly above its official capacity of 420.
