Stanburn Primary School
About Stanburn Primary School
Stanburn Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Harrow families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 305 applications for just 90 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.39. Of those 79 first-preference applications, 74 were offered a place, meaning most families who put it top got in, but competition remains stiff. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included here, the sheer demand suggests a strong reputation locally. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and it does not have a religious character. Headteacher Elaine D’Souza leads a school of 676 pupils, operating at about 87% of its 780 capacity. With 15.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is reasonably diverse socioeconomically, and the school’s popularity indicates it’s meeting the needs of a broad cross-section of the community.
