About Windrush Thamesmead Primary School
Windrush Thamesmead Primary School is a state primary in Greenwich that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 112 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.73. That means nearly four families applied for every spot. Of those, 32 put it as their first preference, and all 30 first-preference offers were taken up, so it pays to have this school at the top of your list. The school is led by headteacher Carrie Lee and currently has 223 pupils on roll, slightly over its official capacity of 210. It’s a mixed, non-religious school with nursery provision for children aged three and up. While there’s no parent-view data available to tell you what current families think, the sheer demand for places speaks volumes about its reputation in the area.
