About Torridon Primary School

Torridon Primary School in Lewisham is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 632 pupils against a capacity of 660. That near-full roll is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 249 applications for 90 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.77 applicants per spot. Of those, 71 offers went to first-preference families out of 73 who put it top of their list — a strong local vote of confidence. The school serves a notably diverse community: 28.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools (roughly 23-24%) and a clear signal of the area’s socioeconomic mix. Headteacher Manda George leads a non-religious school with nursery provision attached, and the intake data suggests a popular choice among Lewisham families who value a genuinely comprehensive local option.
