About Leavesden JMI School

Parents considering Leavesden JMI School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 96 applications for just 41 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.34 applicants per place. Of those, 38 families put it as their first preference, and all 38 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among local families, though it's worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey score, so there is no formal satisfaction rating to back that up. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It sits in Watford, within the Hertfordshire local authority, and has no religious character. Headteacher Victoria Lyon leads a school that is close to capacity, with 408 pupils against a maximum of 450.
