About Viking Primary School

Viking Primary School in Ealing is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, and its intake tells a clear story about the community it serves. The school is operating slightly above its official capacity of 210, with 215 pupils on roll, which suggests it is a popular choice among local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44%, significantly higher than the national average of around 23% for primary schools, indicating a catchment area with higher-than-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 65 applications for just 20 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.25 to one. Of those, 17 families listed Viking as their first preference, and all 17 were offered a place. This level of competition shows that despite its high FSM intake, the school is seen as a desirable option by local parents, likely drawn to its inclusive ethos and the support it offers.
