Schools in Greenwich

The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.

If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Greenwich lodged 273 appeals about a school place.

200 of them were heard by a panel and 11 succeeded, which is about 6 in every 100 heard.

The other 73 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.
