About Earlham Primary School

Earlham Primary School is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its standing in the Newham community. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 215 applications for just 60 places, with 73 families listing it as their first preference. That works out at roughly 3.6 applications per place, and only 58 first-preference offers were made, meaning even families who put it top of their list faced competition. The school currently has 464 pupils on roll, which is 44 above its official capacity of 420, so it is running full and then some. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 40.1%, well above the national average for primary schools and reflective of the borough’s demographic profile. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision available for the youngest children.
