About St Vincent's Catholic Primary School

St Vincent's Catholic Primary School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in Westminster, and it is very much in demand. With 233 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, the school is essentially full. The level of interest from local families is striking: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.03. Of those, 37 were first-preference applications, and 28 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.1%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, reflecting the relatively affluent catchment area in central London. The school has a nursery provision, so families can join from age three, and its Roman Catholic character will be a key factor for many parents when considering their options.
