Hadley Wood Primary School
About Hadley Wood Primary School
Hadley Wood Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 102 applications for just 29 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.52. Of those applications, 32 were first-preference choices, and 27 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Enfield community. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey score, the combination of high demand and a Good Ofsted rating from its most recent 2022 inspection offers a solid signal of parent confidence. The school’s previous inspection in 2008 rated it Outstanding across all available categories, including leadership and early years provision, so the current Good rating represents a measured step down rather than a cause for concern. With a relatively small roll of 205 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is operating near its limit, which helps explain the intense competition for places.
