School Admissions

How to apply for a place in our school.

We are delighted that you are considering St Peter and St Paulโ€™s for your childโ€™s education. We know this is an important decision.

We are holding an open morning for Nursery and Reception children on Wednesday 16th November, from 9.30am. Please register your interest in coming along here.

You can also arrange individual tours of the school by emailing admissions@stpetersandstpauls.islington.sch.uk

Our results show we are top in Islington for results and 8th in London overall. Out of 22,102 primary schools in England, we came 61st which is an outstanding result. But academic results are only part of the picture. What we provide is a fully-rounded, family focussed environment which can offer sports as well as music lessons, chess and other activities to all children.

We are a small school. This allows us to also offer excellent pastoral care to our children and their families. We have established partnerships with Mental Health charities and an in-school commitment to learning mentoring and art therapy every week. By providing this holistic approach to your child’s education, we are able to support their emotions, behaviour and build their confidence. You can read more about what we do here.
