About Mayville Academy

Mayville Academy is a mixed state primary school in Waltham Forest for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 311 pupils against a capacity of 465. That leaves a fair amount of physical space, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 86 applications for just 27 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.19. Of those, 24 were first-preference applications, and 24 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 34.3%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23%, reflecting the school’s role in a relatively disadvantaged pocket of the borough. Headteacher Sharon Parson leads a non-religious school with no formal religious character, and the nursery provision means children can join from age three, giving local families a continuous primary route.
