About Timbercroft Primary School

Timbercroft Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 35 out of 36 places offered to first-preference applicants in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school received 95 total applications for those 36 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.64 — meaning nearly three families applied for every spot. That level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth in the Greenwich community, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey score to back that up directly. Headteacher Rachel Mollett leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school is currently rated Good by Ofsted following an ungraded inspection in July 2024, which confirmed it remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Good overall, and further back from a Requires Improvement rating in 2009.
