About St Stephen's CofE Primary School

St Stephen's CofE Primary School in Hammersmith and Fulham is a Church of England state primary that runs very close to full capacity, with 440 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 446. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. Demand for places is exceptionally high: for entry in 2025/26, the school received 203 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.38. Of those applicants, 79 put St Stephen's as their first preference, and 53 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition places it among the most sought-after primaries in the borough, and it sits 9th out of 35 schools in Hammersmith and Fulham's local authority rankings. The school also offers nursery provision, which may help families secure a place before the main reception intake.
