New End Primary School
About New End Primary School
New End Primary School is a popular choice among Camden families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 183 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6.1 applicants per spot. Only 16 of those 22 first-preference families received an offer, which tells you how competitive it is to get in. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the sheer demand suggests a strong local reputation. Headteacher Karyn Ray leads a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is rated Good by Ofsted across all five categories in its most recent 2023 inspection, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That's consistent with its previous Good rating from 2012, so there's a track record of solid, steady performance.
