About Newton Farm Nursery, Infant and Junior School

Newton Farm Nursery, Infant and Junior School sits comfortably above the Harrow average for primary schools when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 72%, Newton Farm achieves a notably higher 83%. That places the school 8th out of 38 primary schools in the borough, putting it firmly in the top 10. It also ranks within the top 7% nationally, which is a strong showing for a state primary. The school is oversubscribed by a considerable margin — 211 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 71 first-preference applications — so demand clearly matches the results. It’s worth noting that the school’s previous Ofsted inspection, back in 2008, rated it Outstanding overall, though the most recent graded inspection in 2022 brought that down to Good. Still, several individual categories remain Outstanding, including early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes.
