About Daubeney Primary School

Daubeney Primary School in Hackney is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11 that currently educates 367 pupils against a capacity of 519, meaning it has room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 47.9%, well above the national average and a strong indicator of the school's inclusive, inner-city intake. Demand is high: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 104 applications for 38 places, with 36 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at nearly three applicants for every place, and the school was officially oversubscribed. The headteacher is Robin Warren, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, which feeds into the main school. Given the high FSM percentage and the oversubscription rate, Daubeney clearly serves a diverse local community while maintaining strong appeal among Hackney families.
