St Mary's Church of England Primary Norwood Green
About St Mary's Church of England Primary Norwood Green
St Mary's Church of England Primary Norwood Green is a smaller-than-average primary in Ealing, with 149 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. That spare capacity is notable in a borough where many schools are oversubscribed. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.8%, well above the national average, indicating the school serves a relatively disadvantaged catchment. Despite this, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.17. All 21 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is popular, it is not yet impossible to get into. The school is a Church of England primary in Ealing, led by headteacher Rachel Blake, and includes a nursery provision for children from age three.
