The school ranks second out of 52 primaries in Brent on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it firmly among the top performers in the area. Its closest peers at the top of the local table are East Lane Primary School, Ark Franklin Primary Academy, and St Joseph’s Catholic Junior School, all of which achieve similar high scores. With a capacity of 510 and 485 pupils on roll, the school is large for a primary but clearly popular — it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 154 applications for 60 places, with 53 first-preference offers made from 54 first-preference applications.
