About Our Lady of Grace Catholic Primary School

Our Lady of Grace Catholic Primary School in Greenwich is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary that is effectively full, with 417 pupils against a capacity of 420. The school serves a diverse intake: 21.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average for primary schools but sits within the typical range for inner-London boroughs. Demand is strong — for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 152 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.53. Of those, 57 were first-preference applications, and 54 first-preference offers were made, meaning most families who put it top got in, but competition is real. The school is one of 12 Outstanding primaries in Greenwich out of 62 total, and its nearest Outstanding neighbour is Cardwell Primary School, 2.1 km away.
