About Summerside Primary Academy

Summerside Primary Academy in Barnet is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 402 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is very close to full. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 35.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 24%. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 99 applications for 43 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.3 to one. Of those, 26 were first-preference offers, matching the number of first-preference applications exactly, which suggests that every family who put it first got a place. The school is led by headteacher Charlotte Trew and has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
