Sybourn Primary School
About Sybourn Primary School
Sybourn Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 131 applications for just 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.2. Of those, 34 families put it as their first preference, and all 34 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth reputation in Waltham Forest. The school’s parent-facing appeal is backed by its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, which rated it Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep of top grades, and a notable upgrade from its previous Good rating.
