About Trent CofE Primary School

Trent CofE Primary School in Barnet is a Church of England state primary for mixed pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is running very close to full capacity with 208 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.1 per cent, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent local intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 93 total applications for just 29 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 3.21. Of those applicants, 29 put the school as their first preference, and 23 first-preference offers were made, indicating that while competition is high, a first-choice application gives a reasonable chance of a place. The school’s religious character as CofE may influence admissions criteria, so parents should check the oversubscription policy carefully.
