About Pilgrims' Way Primary School

Pilgrims' Way Primary School in Southwark is a smaller-than-average state primary, with 196 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. The school serves a notably diverse community: 52.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a strong indicator of the area's socioeconomic profile. Demand for places is clear — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 22 applications for just 10 places, with all 10 first-preference offers taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.2. The school offers nursery provision for children from age three, and its mixed, non-religious character means it draws families from across the local area. With a Good Ofsted rating from its most recent inspection in 2024, and a previous ungraded inspection in 2015 that found standards maintained, the school has held a consistent quality rating over time.
