Oakview Primary School
About Oakview Primary School
Oakview Primary School in Broxbourne is a state primary that clearly appeals to local families, with 46 applications for just 27 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 1.7 applications per place, and only 12 of those applicants put it as their first preference, suggesting it’s a popular but not top-of-the-list choice for many. The school doesn’t publish a parent-view recommendation score, so it’s hard to gauge overall satisfaction directly, but the oversubscription ratio indicates there’s enough demand to fill every spot. With 170 pupils against a capacity of 240, there’s also some room to grow, which might appeal to families looking for a less cramped environment. The headteacher is Sarah Baker, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age three, making it a practical option for families with younger siblings.
