St Augustine's Federated Schools: CE High 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, 63 families put St Augustine's Federated Schools: CE High School as their first choice and 292 named it as one of their preferences, for 121 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.
First-choice demand has fallen from 107 in 2021 to 63 in 2026, while places went from 173 to 121.
57% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Westminster, 66% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 93% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Westminster lodged 66 appeals against secondary school offers; 58 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
