About Goldbeaters Primary School
Goldbeaters Primary School in Barnet is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, and it is running at near-full capacity with 469 pupils against a school capacity of 471. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 40.9%, which is notably high and signals a diverse intake relative to many other schools in the borough. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 259 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.63. Of those, 66 were first-preference applications, and 50 first-preference offers were made, indicating that while competition is fierce, a significant majority of families who put it first do secure a spot. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision, making it an option for families looking for continuity from early years through to the end of primary.
