St John's CofE Junior Mixed and Infant School
About St John's CofE Junior Mixed and Infant School
If you are a parent considering St John's CofE Junior Mixed and Infant School in Barnet, the numbers suggest a school that local families are keen to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed with a ratio of 3.4 applications for every place, and 23 of its 30 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand is a strong signal of local satisfaction, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey percentage to back that up. With 232 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, the school is running very close to full, which reinforces its popularity. The headteacher, Immacolata Dobie, leads a Church of England primary that also offers nursery provision for children from age three, making it a potential long-term option for families starting early.
