St George's Hanover Square 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 George's Hanover Square CofE Primary School as their first choice and 28 named it as one of their preferences, for 12 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 9 in 2021 to 7 in 2026, while places went from 13 to 12.
25% of applications came from families living in another council area.
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).
