About Hogarth Primary School

Hogarth Primary School in Brentwood is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, currently operating well below its capacity. With 227 pupils against a school capacity of 420, there is significant room for growth, though the school is already oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake. It received 64 total applications for just 27 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.37, and made 20 offers to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 25.1%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment serving families with above-average economic need. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Robert Watson. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 awarded an overall effectiveness of Good, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2023.
