About St Margaret's Church of England Primary School

St Margaret’s Church of England Primary School sits in the London borough of Greenwich, a local authority with 62 primary schools where competition for places is strong. The school ranks 57th out of those 62, placing it in the bottom tier locally. For context, the top-performing peers in Greenwich include St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Eltham Church of England Primary School, and Our Lady of Grace Catholic Primary School, each scoring significantly higher on the same ranking metric. St Margaret’s is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with a Church of England character and a headteacher named Anna Sullivan. It has 215 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is well below capacity. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, with 44 applications for just 10 places and 9 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.4. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation despite its low ranking, and the nearest Outstanding-rated school, Foxfield Primary School, is only 0.4 km away.
