About Alexandra Primary School
If you're a parent in Hounslow looking for a primary school, the numbers at Alexandra Primary School suggest it's a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 239 applications for 83 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 88. Of those, 76 families put it as their first preference, and all 76 were offered a place. That kind of demand is a strong signal from the local community. The school is a large state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It currently has 667 pupils against a capacity of 720, so there is a little breathing room. The headteacher is John Norton, and the school has no religious character. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2023, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2017.
