About George Spicer Primary School

George Spicer Primary School is a large state primary in Enfield, currently home to 785 pupils against a capacity of 840, so it is running close to full but with a little headroom. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32.6%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a diverse intake with a significant number of children from less advantaged backgrounds. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 176 applications for just 55 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.2 to one. Of those, 47 first-preference families were offered a spot, meaning competition is real but not prohibitive for those who make it their top choice. The school is non-religious and mixed, drawing from across the local community.
