About Sandhurst Primary School

Sandhurst Primary School in Lewisham is a large state primary running close to its full capacity of 660 pupils, with 646 on roll. Its intake draws from a notably less disadvantaged cohort than the national average for state primaries: 15.9% of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared with roughly 23% across England. Demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 258 applications for 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.87 to one. Of those, 115 families put Sandhurst as their first preference, and 89 first-preference offers were made. That level of competition suggests the school is a popular choice locally, though it is worth noting that Lewisham has ten primary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and the nearest of these, Brindishe Manor School, is just 1.1 kilometres away.
