St Paul's 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, 9 families put St Paul's CofE Primary School as their first choice and 37 named it as one of their preferences, for 16 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 17 in 2021 to 9 in 2026, while places went from 26 to 16.
Across Hammersmith and Fulham, 75% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 94% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Hammersmith and Fulham lodged 6 appeals against primary school offers; 4 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
