About Aldersbrook Primary School
Aldersbrook Primary School in Redbridge is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 664 pupils on roll against a capacity of 677, the school is running very close to full, and the demand is evident in its admission data for the 2025/26 academic year. The school received 311 total applications for just 88 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.53 to one, and 84 of those offers went to first-preference applicants out of 99 who put it top of their list. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Krisha Gandhi. It also offers nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
