Brunswick Park Primary and Nursery School
About Brunswick Park Primary and Nursery School
Brunswick Park Primary and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 163 applications for just 43 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.79. Of those applications, 36 were first-preference choices, and all 36 were offered places. This level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth among parents in Barnet. While the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey score, the sheer volume of applications — more than three and a half times the number of places — is a practical signal of its reputation. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, and has a nursery provision. It is led by headteacher Andy Griffiths and has no religious character. With 447 pupils on roll against a capacity of 457, it is operating very close to full, which adds to the competitive nature of admissions.
