About Sir John Heron Primary School

Parents considering Sir John Heron Primary School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 93 applications for just 46 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.02. Of those 93 applicants, 43 put the school as their first preference, and all 43 were offered a place. That suggests a solid local reputation, though it is worth noting that the school is not the most oversubscribed in Newham.
