About St John's CofE School

St John's CofE School in Harrow is a popular choice among local families, with 73 applications for just 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.52. Of those 73 applications, 28 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to all 28 first-preference applicants. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it is worth noting that the school does not have a published parent-view recommendation score from the most recent Ofsted inspection. The school is a state-funded Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It currently has 280 pupils against a capacity of 420, so there is some room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 30.7 per cent, which is above the national average and indicates a diverse intake.
