About Rhodes Avenue Primary School

Rhodes Avenue Primary School in Haringey is a large, mixed-gender state primary that is heavily oversubscribed, a clear signal of its popularity with local families. With 688 pupils against a capacity of 700, the school is running very close to full, and the demand is intense: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 343 applications for just 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.81. Of those, 148 were first-preference applications, and all 90 places went to first-preference families. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average. Just 4.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared to a national primary average that typically sits around 23-24%, suggesting a catchment skewed towards more affluent households. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are purely on proximity and other standard council criteria. It also offers nursery provision, which can be a key entry point for families hoping to secure a place further down the line.
