About Iqra Primary School

Iqra Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 121 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.03. That means more than four families applied for every available spot, and the school received 60 first-preference applications for those 30 places. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the sheer demand tells its own story. The school is a Muslim-faith state primary in Lambeth, for boys and girls aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed the school remains Outstanding, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in October 2017, when it was judged Outstanding across the board, including leadership and management and early years provision.
