About St Anne's Catholic Primary School

St Anne’s Catholic Primary School in Lambeth is a small, oversubscribed state primary with a strong local pull: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 30 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.75. All eight first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests that while demand is high, those who put it top of their list have a decent chance. ParentView data isn’t available here, so we can’t gauge current satisfaction directly, but the sheer number of applications relative to capacity indicates the school holds real appeal for local Catholic families. The school has a Roman Catholic religious character and is led by headteacher Peter Hilton. It’s a mixed primary for ages 4 to 11, with 208 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so it’s running almost full. Just over a third of pupils (36.6%) are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average and reflects the diverse, inner-city community it serves.
