Royal Greenwich Trust School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 80 families put Royal Greenwich Trust School as their first choice and 365 named it as one of their preferences, for 144 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 80 first choices in 2021, against 80 in 2026.
Across Greenwich, 60% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 88% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Greenwich lodged 254 appeals against secondary school offers; 217 reached a hearing and 14 succeeded (6.5% of those heard).
