About Glebe Primary School

Glebe Primary School in Harrow is a popular choice among local families, with 124 applications chasing just 50 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.48. Of those applicants, 41 put the school as their first preference, and all 41 received an offer. That level of demand suggests parents see something worthwhile here, even though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement overall. The parent-view data isn’t available in the inspection report, but the sheer number of applications — more than double the available spots — indicates that many families are willing to look past the official rating. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it serves a diverse community in the London borough of Harrow.
