About Krishna Avanti Primary School

Krishna Avanti Primary School in Harrow is a state-funded Hindu faith school that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local popularity. With 454 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating above its official number, and for the 2025/26 intake it received 249 applications for just 60 places, with 118 of those as first preferences. That works out to an oversubscription ratio of 4.15 applicants per place. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average: just 3.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the Harrow primary average of around 14%. This demographic profile, combined with the high demand, suggests a school that has built a strong reputation among local families, particularly those seeking a Hindu ethos within the state system.
