About St Gregory's Catholic Primary School

St Gregory's Catholic Primary School in Ealing is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 367 pupils against a stated capacity of 656. That leaves significant physical room for growth, but the school is already heavily oversubscribed in practice: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 144 applications for just 53 places, with 47 of those offers going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.72, meaning nearly three families compete for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.9 per cent, which is above the national primary average of roughly 23 per cent but worth noting in the context of Ealing's diverse demographic mix. Headteacher Craig Ross leads a school that clearly commands strong local demand, particularly among Catholic families, though the admission data suggests that securing a place requires a first-preference application and a degree of luck.
