About Sudbourne Primary School

Sudbourne Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 125 applications chasing just 30 places for the 2025/26 academic year, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.17. Of those applicants, 37 put it as their first preference, and 25 first-preference offers were made. That kind of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to get their children in. The school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage in the data, but the sheer volume of applications — more than four times the number of places — is a strong signal in itself. Headteacher James Broad leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. The school has capacity for 315 pupils and currently enrols 302, so it's running close to full. Just over a third of pupils (37.5%) are eligible for free school meals, reflecting the diverse intake you'd expect in inner-city Lambeth.
