About Risley Avenue Primary School

Risley Avenue Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 131 applications for just 52 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.52. Of those, 47 families listed it as their first preference, and all 47 received offers. That level of demand suggests a school that parents in Haringey trust and actively seek out. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It currently has 477 pupils against a capacity of 660, so there is some room to grow. The headteacher is Linda Sarr, and the school has no religious character. Over 43 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and gives a sense of the community it serves.
