Pinner Park Primary School

About Pinner Park Primary School

Pinner Park Primary School in Harrow is rated Good overall by Ofsted, following its most recent inspection in March 2024. That rating represents a step down from the Outstanding grade it held in its previous inspection in 2013, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. Personal development was judged Outstanding, while the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management all received Good marks. On the key academic metric for primary schools — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — Pinner Park achieved 75 per cent. That puts it comfortably above the Harrow local authority average of 72 per cent and ranks it 15th out of 38 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the top 40 per cent locally. Nationally, it sits in the top 20 per cent of all primary schools.

Digging deeper into the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school’s strengths are clear in maths. The average maths score was 108, with 88 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard and 43 per cent hitting the higher standard. Reading was also strong: an average score of 107, 85 per cent at expected and 38 per cent at higher. Writing saw 85 per cent at expected, though only 8 per cent reached the higher standard. The combined higher standard figure — pupils achieving the higher level in reading, writing and maths simultaneously — was 7 per cent. With 875 pupils on roll and a capacity of 892, the school is near full. Around 12 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many London primaries.

The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 357 applications for 119 places, with 104 first-preference applications and 102 first-preference offers. That means a ratio of three applications per place, so getting in requires living close by. Facilities include a gymnasium, ICT suite, music rooms, a sensory room and even a chapel. Sports on offer include swimming, athletics, cross country and cricket, while clubs cover science, coding and chess. SEND provision is broad, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional needs, speech and language issues, hearing and visual impairments, and autistic spectrum disorder. With nursery provision on site, it suits families looking for a single primary journey from age three through to Year 6, particularly those who value strong maths outcomes and a school that feels settled and in high demand.
