About St Anthony's Catholic Primary School

St Anthony's Catholic Primary School sits in Southwark, a London borough where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 68. The school itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and its ungraded inspection in 2021, where inspectors confirmed it 'remains Good'. That puts it in the majority of local primaries — only 17 of Southwark's 67 primary schools have achieved the top Outstanding grade. The nearest Outstanding-rated school, Harris Primary Academy East Dulwich, is 0.7 km away. St Anthony's is a Roman Catholic mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is led by headteacher Joanne Hawthorne and has a capacity of 450 pupils, currently housing 426. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 104 applications for just 44 places, with 36 of those offers going to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.36.
