About Mayespark Primary School

Mayespark Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 111 applications chasing just 55 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.02. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and of those, 44 were first-preference applications, all of which received offers. It’s a strong signal that parents who really want a place here tend to get one, but competition is real. The school is a state primary in Redbridge, mixed gender, non-religious, and takes children from age 3 up to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Emiley Davies leads a school of 617 pupils, which is slightly below its capacity of 682, so there is some breathing room. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023, the school was rated Good across the board, including for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That’s a solid, consistent picture, and the previous inspection in 2014 also rated it Good overall, so the school has maintained its standing over time.
