Aragon Primary School
About Aragon Primary School
Aragon Primary School in Merton is a state primary for ages 3 to 11 that is clearly in demand. With 623 pupils on roll against a capacity of 650, the school is running close to full, and the admissions data for 2025/26 tells a story of significant oversubscription. The school received 145 total applications for just 70 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. Of those, 67 were first-preference applications, and 67 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place, but competition for those initial slots was stiff. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.3%, which is above the national average for primary schools and gives the school a genuinely mixed intake. This is a school that serves a diverse local community and is clearly a popular choice among Merton families, particularly those who can secure that first-preference spot.
