About St Patrick's Catholic Primary School

St Patrick's Catholic Primary School in Greenwich is a mixed Roman Catholic state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 336 pupils against a capacity of 367, meaning it runs close to full but with a little breathing room. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.5%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 69 applications for 36 places, with 35 of those coming as first preferences and 35 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. That means nearly two families applied for every place, and almost all first-preference families were successful, which points to a school that is popular locally but not impossibly selective. The school also offers nursery provision, so families with younger children can get a foot in the door early.
