Eastfield Primary School
About Eastfield Primary School
Eastfield Primary School in Enfield is a state primary that is genuinely popular with local families. With 433 pupils on roll against a capacity of 428, the school is effectively full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 100 applications for just 32 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.13 to one. All 31 first-preference applicants received an offer, but the numbers suggest that being first choice is no guarantee of a place. The school serves a community with significant economic need — 47.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. That context matters when interpreting the school’s results. The headteacher is Ben Statham, and the school has nursery provision for children from age three, making it a genuine all-through primary option for families in the area.
