About North West London Jewish Day School

North West London Jewish Day School is a state primary that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 67 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.31. Of those, 35 families put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in Brent. The school itself is small, with 202 pupils against a capacity of 270, so there is some physical room, but the competition for places is real. It is a Jewish faith school for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and the headteacher is Judith Caplan. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections.
