About St Saviour's Catholic Primary School

St Saviour's Catholic Primary School in Lewisham is a mixed Roman Catholic state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 209 pupils against a capacity of 230. That leaves a little breathing room, but demand tells a different story: for its 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 39 applications for just 10 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.9 to one. Only six of those applicants listed it as their first preference, and all six were offered a spot. The school's intake is notably diverse in economic terms — 35.8 per cent of pupils qualify for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23 per cent. This suggests a community that draws from a broad range of backgrounds, and the school's Catholic character will naturally appeal to families seeking a faith-based education within the state system. With nursery provision on site, it also offers a starting point for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
