About Barham Primary School

Barham Primary School is a large state primary in the London borough of Brent, led by headteacher Georgina Nutton. It caters for 926 pupils aged 3 to 11, operating very close to its full capacity of 930. In Brent’s primary school landscape, Barham sits 19th out of 52 schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top half of the local authority. The three highest-ranked primaries in the borough are East Lane Primary School, St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School, and Ark Franklin Primary Academy, all of which sit ahead of Barham in the local rankings. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Good overall. Notably, its early years provision was rated Outstanding in that inspection, a step up from the Good (grade 2) it received in its previous graded inspection back in 2016. Leadership and management also remain Good.
