St Thomas A Becket Roman Catholic 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, 36 families put St Thomas A Becket Roman Catholic Primary School as their first choice and 74 named it as one of their preferences, for 36 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 51 in 2021 to 36 in 2026, while places went from 53 to 36.
18% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Greenwich, 89% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Greenwich lodged 46 appeals against primary school offers; 34 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
