About Stanley Primary School

Stanley Primary School in Richmond upon Thames is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 447 pupils against a capacity of 560. That leaves some headroom, but the demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 189 applications for just 45 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.2 to one. Of those, 41 first-preference families were offered a spot, suggesting it is a popular choice among local parents despite not being full to the brim. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27.8%, notably higher than the national average for primary schools, which typically hovers around 23-24%. This gives the school a more diverse socioeconomic intake than many of its neighbours in this generally affluent borough, and headteacher Simon Hawley leads a team that has clearly built a reputation strong enough to attract nearly four times as many applicants as places available.
