About Barlby Primary School

Barlby Primary School in Kensington and Chelsea is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, and it is running very close to full capacity with 368 pupils against a school capacity of 370. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 53.3%, which is notably high and indicates a diverse intake with significant socio-economic challenges compared with many schools in this affluent borough. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 94 total applications for 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.29. Of those, 33 were first-preference applications, and all 33 received offers. This suggests that while the school is popular locally, a fair number of families who apply are not putting it as their top choice, possibly reflecting the competitive nature of primary admissions in this part of London.
