South Grove Primary School
About South Grove Primary School
South Grove Primary School in Haringey is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it’s currently running slightly over its official capacity of 210 pupils with 221 on roll. That oversubscription is backed up by the numbers: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 47 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. Only 10 first-preference offers were made, so competition is real. The school serves a notably diverse community — 37.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear signal of the area’s socioeconomic mix. The headteacher is Emma Murray, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, which will appeal to local families looking for continuity from age 2 through to Year 6.
