Aldborough Primary School
About Aldborough Primary School
Aldborough Primary School is a popular choice among Redbridge families, and the numbers tell a clear story. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 199 applications for just 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.52. That means for every available spot, more than four families wanted it. Of those 199 applicants, 34 put Aldborough as their first preference, and all 34 were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a parent satisfaction survey, the sheer weight of demand is a strong signal that local families rate it highly. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 4 to 11, with no religious character. It has a capacity of 420 pupils and currently rolls at 365, so there is some headroom, but clearly not enough to meet demand. Headteacher Abu Toki leads a school that last had a graded Ofsted inspection in 2013, where it was rated Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in June 2022 confirmed it remains Good.
