Haimo Primary School
About Haimo Primary School
Haimo Primary School is a popular choice among Greenwich families, and the numbers tell a clear story. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 98 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.5. Of those, 26 families put it as their first preference, and 26 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who wanted it most got a place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation. The school has a nursery provision, which may help families settle in early, and the headteacher is Kathleen Barnes. With 374 pupils against a capacity of 420, there is some room, but competition for places is real. The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024 rated the school Good overall, with a standout Outstanding grade for personal development. Behaviour and attitudes, leadership, and the quality of education were all rated Good, and early years provision was also Good.
