About Furness Primary School

Furness Primary School in Brent is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 343 pupils against a capacity of 545. That leaves significant room for growth, but the school is already heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 95 applications for just 39 places, with 35 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 2.44 applications per place, a clear signal of local demand. The pupil body is notably diverse in economic terms, with 32.5% of children eligible for free school meals — well above the national average of around 23%, and a figure that places the school in a high-needs bracket within Brent. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
