About St Mary's Catholic Primary School

St Mary's Catholic Primary School sits within the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority, a London borough with 37 primary schools. It ranks 17th out of 35 in the LA, placing it just above the midpoint. The top three performing peers locally are John Betts Primary School, St Peter's Primary School, and Addison Primary School. The nearest school rated Outstanding is Addison Primary School, just 0.2 km away. St Mary's itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection in April 2024 confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. With 177 pupils against a capacity of 236, the school is significantly undersubscribed in terms of capacity, yet it received 75 applications for 25 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it oversubscribed three times over. Fifteen of those applications were first-preference offers, indicating strong local demand despite the available space.
