About Our Lady and St George's Catholic Primary School

Our Lady and St George's Catholic Primary School is a state primary in Waltham Forest that currently teaches 328 pupils against a capacity of 450, meaning there is room to grow. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 38.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and reflects the local community it draws from. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 60 applications for just 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4:1, with all 14 first-preference applicants receiving an offer. This suggests a school that is popular among local families who prioritise its Roman Catholic character and its place in the community. The school also offers nursery provision, so families with younger children can start here from age three.
