About Coppermill Primary School

Coppermill Primary School in Waltham Forest is a smaller-than-average state primary, with 183 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236. That leaves some physical room, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 167 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 5.57 to one. Only 28 of those 34 first-preference families secured a spot, so getting in is competitive. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 15.8%, which is below the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally. The school is non-religious and co-educational, serving ages three to eleven with a nursery on site. Headteacher Figen Bektasoglu leads a setting that, based on these numbers, clearly holds strong local appeal despite not being the largest school in the borough.
