About St Mary's Catholic Primary School ,Chiswick
St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Chiswick is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.8. Only eight of those applications were first-preference offers, which suggests that while many families rank it highly, securing a place is competitive. The school’s parent-view data isn’t available in the most recent inspection report, but the strong demand alone signals a positive reputation in the community. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in Hounslow, led by headteacher Elizabeth Keane, and it currently has 191 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. With nursery provision on site, it caters for children from age three through to Year 6, and the mixed-gender intake reflects its inclusive Catholic ethos.
