About Argyle Primary School

Argyle Primary School in Camden is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 278 pupils against a capacity of 432 — meaning it is running well below its physical maximum. However, that spare space is not a sign of low demand. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 66 applications for just 29 places and 26 first-preference offers made. The oversubscription ratio of 2.28 tells you this is a school families actively want. What really stands out is the intake profile: 60.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is far above the national average and makes Argyle one of the most economically diverse primaries in Camden. The school is non-religious, with a nursery attached, and is led by headteacher Jemima Wade.
