# Schools in Westminster 40 schools with published admissions figures "1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate and it does not say whether a child would be offered a place. A dash means the figure is not held. ## How the 2026 round went Counts families, not schools. The table below cannot be added up into these figures, because a child naming three schools appears in three of its rows. ### Primary For September 2026, 82.4% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 94.6% were offered one of the three schools they named. That is much the same as in 2016, when it was 82.4%. The council's primary schools between them had 1,161 places for 925 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it. ### Secondary For September 2026, 65.8% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 88.1% were offered one of the three schools they named. That is 12.5 points higher than in 2016, when it was 53.4%. The council's secondary schools between them had 1,754 places for 901 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it. ## If a family is refused a place In 2026, families in Westminster lodged 46 appeals about a school place. 40 of them were heard by a panel and 7 succeeded, which is about 18 in every 100 heard. The other 6 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 Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.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.

The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged. ## Schools here running specialist SEN provision 7 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school. | School | Phase | What it runs | |---|---|---| | [All Souls CofE Primary School, London](/school/101121/all-souls-cofe-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit | | [Edward Wilson Primary School, London](/school/101110/edward-wilson-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision | | [Hallfield Primary School, London](/school/101116/hallfield-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision | | [Pimlico Primary, London](/school/139898/pimlico-primary) | primary | Resourced provision | | [Marylebone Academy, London](/school/140884/marylebone-academy) | secondary | Resourced provision | | [Pimlico Academy, London](/school/135676/pimlico-academy) | secondary | Resourced provision | | [St Augustine's Federated Schools: CE High School, London](/school/101154/st-augustine-s-federated-schools-ce-high-school) | secondary | Resourced provision | This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council.
