About Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School

Parents at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 92% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed by strong individual scores: 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and a combined 94% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular in the local area too — for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 56 applications for just 28 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Only 19 of those applications were first-preference offers, which suggests many families are putting it top of their list but not all are successful. With a school capacity of 315 and only 179 pupils on roll, there is physical space, but demand for places is high, particularly for Catholic families in Kensington and Chelsea.
