Monken Hadley CofE Primary School
About Monken Hadley CofE Primary School
Monken Hadley CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Barnet, running at near-full capacity with 149 pupils against a school capacity of 150. That tight fit reflects genuine demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 150 applications for just 20 places, with 37 families listing it as their first preference. The oversubscription ratio of 7.5 to one is a clear signal that local parents see it as a strong option. The pupil body is less disadvantaged than the national average, with 16.1% eligible for free school meals, though that figure is worth noting in a borough where many primaries serve more affluent intakes. The school is mixed and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Julie Eyres leads a setting that, on the numbers, feels both intimate and highly sought-after.
