About Thomas Jones Primary School

Thomas Jones Primary School in Kensington and Chelsea is a state primary that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local reputation. With 234 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating above its official number, and for the 2025/26 intake it received 207 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 7.39. Of those, 71 families put it as their first preference, and 26 first-preference offers were made. The school’s intake is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms: 39.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools and a figure that stands out in a borough known for its wealth. This suggests a genuinely mixed catchment, drawing families from across the local area rather than just the most affluent streets.
