Rangefield Primary School
About Rangefield Primary School
Rangefield Primary School in Lewisham is a popular choice among local families, with 72 applications for just 27 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67. Of those, 25 first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests the school is a genuine first choice for many. Parent satisfaction data isn't available in the school's published records, but the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. The school is led by headteacher Michelle Fenniche and caters for 280 pupils aged 3 to 11, despite having a stated capacity of 210 — meaning it's well over its official number, which may be something to bear in mind when thinking about class sizes and space. It's a non-religious, mixed state primary with a nursery provision, and just over a third of pupils (36.9%) are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a diverse intake.
