About Braintcroft E-ACT Primary Academy

Braintcroft E-ACT Primary Academy is a state-funded, mixed primary school in the London borough of Brent, currently educating 663 pupils against a capacity of 710. That leaves a small buffer of unfilled places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 85 applications for 74 total places, with 61 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.15, meaning for every place available, more than one family wanted it. The school’s intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 35.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average for primary schools (around 23-24%) and likely above the Brent average too, reflecting a community with significant economic need. Headteacher Haydn Kilyan leads a school that, despite this challenge, has managed to become a popular local choice.
