About St Martin of Porres Catholic Primary School

St Martin of Porres Catholic Primary School is a small state primary in Haringey, ranking 6th out of 51 primary schools in the borough, placing it comfortably in the top 10% locally. The three highest-ranked peers in the area are Lift Trinity, Rhodes Avenue Primary School, and Lift Noel Park, all of which sit above it in the local league table. With just 117 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is notably undersubscribed in terms of physical space, yet it was oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, receiving 68 applications for 24 places and making offers to all 17 first-preference families. This suggests a school that is popular with its immediate community but not yet drawing from a wider catchment. The headteacher is Andrea Smith, and the school operates as a Roman Catholic voluntary-aided primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11.
