Monkfrith Primary School
About Monkfrith Primary School
Monkfrith Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in the London borough of Barnet, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 415 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is essentially full, and the 2025/26 admissions data shows it is heavily oversubscribed: 221 applications were received for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.75. Of those applicants, 63 put it as their first preference, and 48 of those were offered a place. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average — just 3.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This low FSM figure, combined with the high demand, suggests a catchment area with a strong demographic profile and a school that is well-regarded by local parents.
