St Alfege with St Peter's Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 66 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.13, meaning more than four families applied for every spot. Of those, 13 were first-preference applications, and 13 first-preference offers were made, so if you put it top of your list you stand a decent chance but it is by no means guaranteed. The school is a state primary in Greenwich with a Church of England character, led by headteacher Amanda Wilson, and currently has 203 pupils on roll against a capacity of 262. A significant 42.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and suggests a genuinely inclusive intake.

In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 67 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is slightly below the local authority average of 71 per cent. The school ranks 39th out of 57 primary schools in Greenwich on this measure, placing it in the 68th percentile locally. Nationally, it sits in the 40th percentile.

Writing was slightly stronger, with 74 per cent reaching the expected level. At the higher standard, 19 per cent achieved in maths, 26 per cent in reading and 22 per cent in writing.

Sports on offer include cricket, gymnastics, tennis, dance, athletics and swimming, and there are clubs such as Eco Club, Coding, Chess and Science Club.
