For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 170 applications for just 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.98 — meaning nearly three families applied for every available spot. Of those 170 applications, 44 were first-preference choices, and 44 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that almost all families who put Longfield as their top pick secured a place. The school is led by headteacher Pam Virdee and caters for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary in the London borough of Harrow, with a current roll of 670 pupils against a capacity of 840, so there is some room for growth.
