About Brookland Infant and Nursery School

Brookland Infant and Nursery School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7 in the London borough of Barnet, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has capacity for 322 pupils but currently enrols 304, leaving a small number of spaces available. However, demand far outstrips supply: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 234 applications for just 87 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.69 applicants per place. Of those applications, 68 were first-preference choices, and all 68 received offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with many schools in the area. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are not tied to faith criteria, and it offers nursery provision for younger children.
