Roxbourne Primary School
About Roxbourne Primary School
Roxbourne Primary School in Harrow is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, and it is currently running well below its physical capacity. With 474 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 630, there is room to grow, but the school is already heavily oversubscribed in practice. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 155 applications for just 50 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.1 to 1, and 47 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.2%, which is below the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools nationally. The school is non-religious, with no formal faith designation, and it offers nursery provision for children from age 3, which may be a practical draw for local families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
