About Vauxhall Primary School

Vauxhall Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Lambeth that currently serves 191 pupils against a capacity of 236, meaning it operates at around 81% of its total places. The school’s intake reflects a notably high level of disadvantage: 53.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above both the national average and the typical Lambeth primary figure. Despite this, demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 41 applications for just 14 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.93 to one. All ten first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the remaining 31 families who listed the school lower on their form missed out, suggesting that while it is a popular local choice, it is not typically a first-preference destination for the majority of applicants. The school also offers nursery provision, which may help families secure a place before the main reception intake.
