Linton Mead Primary School
About Linton Mead Primary School
Linton Mead Primary School is a popular choice among Greenwich families, with 76 applications for just 25 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — an oversubscription ratio of 3.04 to one. Every one of those 25 first-preference applicants secured a spot, which suggests the school is a realistic first choice for many local parents. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t available here, the sheer demand tells its own story. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Headteacher Sarah Critchell leads a school of 315 pupils, operating below its capacity of 386. Over two-fifths of pupils (44.2%) are eligible for free school meals, reflecting the diverse intake. The school has no religious character and is rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded visit in November 2022.
