St Barnabas' CofE Primary 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, 7 families put St Barnabas' CofE Primary School as their first choice and 31 named it as one of their preferences, for 9 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 13 in 2021 to 7 in 2026, while places went from 14 to 9.
Across Westminster, 82% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 96% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Westminster lodged 12 appeals against primary school offers; 12 reached a hearing and 8 succeeded (66.7% of those heard).
