Westminster has 54 state schools: 33 primary, 10 secondary, 1 all-through, 4 nursery. Between them they teach around 20,077 pupils. 43 have enough published data for a score, averaging 6.9 out of 10, and 18 score 8 or above.

How places are allocated in Westminster

Primary schools: Westminster community school criteria follow the usual inner-London pattern (LAC, siblings, then proximity) without a hard catchment map for community schools. (source)

Secondary schools: Community secondary places prioritised by distance after statutory criteria; most secondaries are academies with own policies. (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.
