About Lyon Park Primary School

Lyon Park Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline metrics against the Brent local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) at Key Stage 2 is 65%, but Lyon Park’s figure is 48% — a gap of 17 percentage points. That places the school 43rd out of 52 primaries in Brent, in the bottom half of the borough. Its national percentile ranking of 81st means it’s performing below most schools across England on this measure. However, the school is large — 901 pupils against a capacity of 920 — and oversubscribed, with 130 applications for 97 places in 2025/26, suggesting local demand remains strong despite the middling headline results.
