About Oakington Manor Primary School

Oakington Manor Primary School in Brent is a large state primary that serves 662 pupils against a capacity of 737, meaning it is not yet full but is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 145 applications for 89 places, with 78 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.63. That level of competition suggests a strong local reputation. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.9%, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many London state schools. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, with a nursery provision attached, so it caters for children from age three upwards. Headteacher Ruby Vernalls leads a school that has seen its Ofsted rating shift from Outstanding in 2010 to Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, though the early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all remain rated Outstanding.
