About The Blue School CofE Primary
The Blue School CofE Primary in Hounslow is a Church of England state primary that is clearly in high demand among local families. With 456 pupils on roll against a capacity of 468, the school is operating very close to full, and its admission data for 2025/26 tells a striking story: 144 applications were received for just 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.27. Of those applicants, 38 were first-preference choices, meaning the school had to turn away a significant number of families who had it as their top pick. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.5%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the intake draws from a relatively less disadvantaged demographic. The school also offers nursery provision, feeding into the main school from age three, and its religious character as Church of England may be a factor for some families when considering their applications.
