The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.
* Please treat this distance with caution. The council’s document was ambiguous for St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School: Brent prints a maximum distance for each admission category; this is the lowest category offered. We read the figure by hand rather than confirming it automatically, so it may not be the exact cut-off. If you have firmer information, for example from the school or the council, we would be grateful if you could share it through our contact page.

About St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School
St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School is a primary school in London, Brent, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 452 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 77% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 11.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 15% of primary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 15% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 60 Reception places. The council's 2026 allocation figures suggest the last child offered a place lived about 1.04 miles away, but the council's document was ambiguous for this school, so treat that figure with caution. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 21.3 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
