General Information

Address: 41-43 Meadow Garth, London, NW10 0SL – View on map
Phone: 02089655326
Website: Visit school website
Headteacher: Mrs N Harmer
Age range: 2-11 years
Furthest place offered from: Not distance-based that year - not oversubscribed in 2026, places were available From the council's own Sept 2026 admissions data - not a fixed catchment boundary, and no guarantee for future years, since it shifts with demand each year.
Demand for places (Reception, September 2026): 26 families put it first for 30 places – 9 for every 10 places. Every one of them was offered a place. 1 of the 30 places went to families living outside the council area. Children putting it first, for every 10 places: 2023 10 · 2024 8 · 2025 9 · 2026 9
Sixth form: No
Intake: Mixed
Religious character: Does not apply
Nursery provision: Yes

Who goes here

420 pupils out of 630 places Plenty of room

Pupils eligible for free school meals: 159
% eligible for free school meals: 41.1%
Pupil mix: 8 in 10 (similar to the Brent average)
English as an additional language: 83% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 13.4% a year (Brent 20.2%, typical in England 13.9%)
Where they went: about 26% moved to another school, 74% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

About this Behaviour status

We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.

Across Brent: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 8 (0.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 9 (0.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 0 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Brent, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

Overall absence: 7.9%
Persistently absent pupils: 28.5%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 17.1%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 6.2%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Speech, language and communications needs: 49 pupils
Moderate learning difficulty: 7 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 7 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 4 pupils
SEN support but no specialist assessment of type of need: 3 pupils

Most common needs - EHC Plan

Speech, language and communications needs: 12 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 10 pupils
Specific learning difficulty: 3 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 1 pupil

About this Ofsted rating

Ofsted changed how it rates schools in the last couple of years, so ratings from different years aren't always on the same scale - that's why we show the year alongside every rating.

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
