About Moreland Primary School

Moreland Primary School sits in Islington, where it ranks 35th out of 39 state primaries in the local authority, placing it in the bottom half of the borough. The top-performing peers nearby include Drayton Park Primary School, Gillespie Primary School, and Winton Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. Moreland’s ranking score of 50 places it well behind those schools, and the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, Hugh Myddelton Primary School, is just half a kilometre away. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 0 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 106 applications for 57 places, with 51 first-preference offers made. The oversubscription ratio of 1.86 suggests strong local demand, even though the school’s academic ranking is modest within the borough.
