About Edith Neville Primary School

Edith Neville Primary School is a state primary in Camden that serves a notably diverse intake relative to its local peers. With 204 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, the school is operating at roughly 86% capacity, leaving some room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 51.2%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with higher-than-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 96 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.2. Of those applicants, 32 put the school as their first preference, and 29 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition indicates that local families are actively seeking places here, despite the school not being among the very highest-ranked primaries in Camden.
