It may lack the prestige of your Etons and Harrows, but a primary school in Hounslow is apparently the toughest in England at which to secure a place for your child.

Spring Grove Primary School, in Star Road, Isleworth , was the top choice for the parents of 107 children due to start school this September.

With just 30 places available in each year, that meant only 28% of those choosing it as their first preference got in - the lowest percentage for any school in the country.

A massive 405 parents listed the school as one of their choices - a ratio of 13.5 preferences for every place, which was the highest in west London.

The school's phenomenal popularity is perhaps unsurprising when you consider it is rated "outstanding" by Ofsted and 90% of pupils there achieved level four or above in reading, writing and maths last year.

As the annual scramble for school places begins again, getwestlondon has crunched the numbers for schools across west London to see which are most in demand.

Across west London, 151 out of 372 schools were able to offer a place to all children who made it their first choice.

The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School

The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, near Holland Park, was the toughest secondary school in west London to get your child into.

It was the first preference for 357 children, but only 95 of those were offered a place, meaning 73% missed out.

The Roman Catholic school has, according to its own website, topped The Times' A Level league table for comprehensive schools for four years running, which might explain its appeal.

West London Free School , in Hammersmith , had the highest ratio of preferences to offers in the area.

Out of 1,151 people selecting the school as one of their six options, only 115 were accepted - a ratio of 10 to one.

Only 25 out of 102 secondary schools in west London were able to offer a place to all children making it their top choice.

The figures, provided by the Department for Education, represent the position on national offer day.

They do not reflect the number of offers accepted, nor do they take into account late applications.

Nationally, 84.1% of secondary school applicants were offered a place at their first choice school this year. For primary school applications, the figure was 88.4%.
