About Salvatorian Roman Catholic College

Salvatorian Roman Catholic College is a boys’ secondary school in Harrow that is currently running well above its official capacity, with 737 pupils on roll against a capacity of 687. That oversubscription is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 301 applications for 146 places, giving a ratio of just over two applicants per spot, and 88 of those were first-preference offers. The school’s intake reflects a notably diverse socioeconomic mix — 22.4 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is higher than the national average for secondary schools (around 18 per cent) and suggests the school serves a genuinely broad catchment. As a Roman Catholic school, it will prioritise faith-based admissions, but the sheer volume of applications indicates strong local demand beyond the Catholic community. The school is also the nearest outstanding-rated school to Salvatorian — The Sacred Heart Language College, just 0.2 km away — which means it competes directly with a highly rated neighbour for families seeking a strong academic environment.
