About Park Lane Primary School

Park Lane Primary School is a popular choice among Brent families, and the numbers back that up. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 204 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.4. Of those, 48 families put it as their first preference, and 47 were offered a spot — meaning nearly every first-choice applicant got in, but competition for those places is stiff. The school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, but the high demand suggests a strong local reputation. Headteacher Enid Lewis leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is close to capacity with 456 pupils against a maximum of 480, and just over a fifth of pupils (20.7%) qualify for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
