About Normand Croft Community School for Early Years and Primary Education
Normand Croft Community School for Early Years and Primary Education in Hammersmith and Fulham is a state primary that serves a notably diverse intake. With 214 pupils on roll against a capacity of 261, the school is not at full capacity, yet demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 57 applications for 28 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.04, and all 26 first-preference applicants were offered a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 67.5%, which is significantly above the national average and reflects the school's role in supporting a community with higher-than-average socio-economic need. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 2 through to 11, and it offers nursery provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2024, confirmed that standards were maintained, and the school retains its overall Good rating from the previous graded inspection in March 2019.
