About Pimlico Primary

Pimlico Primary is a state primary in Westminster with 374 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, so it is not yet full but clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 80 applications for 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67, and 31 of those applications were first preferences — meaning nearly every first-choice family secured a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44.4%, which is notably high compared with the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a significantly disadvantaged catchment. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Anna-Maria O'Toole. Despite its high FSM intake, Pimlico Primary has held an Outstanding rating from Ofsted since at least its 2015 inspection, and its most recent graded inspection in May 2025 maintained that standard across quality of education, early years provision and personal development, with behaviour and leadership both rated Good.
