About Ellen Wilkinson Primary School

Ellen Wilkinson Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 184 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.07. Of those, 67 families put it as their first preference, and 59 of those were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to get their children in. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation score, the sheer volume of applications — more than three for every place — is a strong signal in itself. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It sits in the London borough of Newham and has no religious character. Headteacher Janice Owen-Amadasun leads a school that is currently at 91% of its 490-pupil capacity, with 445 children on roll.
