About St Michael's Catholic Primary School
St Michael's Catholic Primary School in Newham is a school that parents clearly want for their children. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 58 applications for just 12 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.83. All 12 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with demand outstripping supply by nearly five to one, getting in is competitive. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Headteacher Natasha Scott leads a school that is slightly over capacity, with 212 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. Just over a quarter of pupils (27.4%) are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the diverse, inner-London community the school serves.
