About Hobbayne Primary School

Hobbayne Primary School in Ealing is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, currently educating 347 pupils against a capacity of 446. That leaves around 99 spare places, but the school is heavily oversubscribed: for 34 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 132 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.88. Only 25 first-preference offers were made, meaning every first-preference applicant was offered a place, but the sheer volume of total applications signals strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30.9%, well above the national primary average of roughly 23% and significantly higher than the Ealing LA average of around 17%. This suggests the school serves a relatively disadvantaged catchment compared with its borough neighbours, though it remains a popular choice for families who prioritise it as their first preference.
