About West Green Primary School
West Green Primary School sits within Haringey, a London borough where 18 of 63 primary schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 32nd out of 51 primaries in the local authority on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it just below the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the area are Lift Trinity, Rhodes Avenue Primary School and Lift Noel Park, all of which score higher on the same metric. West Green is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery provision. The headteacher is Mary Gardiner, and the school currently has 208 pupils against a capacity of 218, meaning it is very close to full. It is also heavily oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 174 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.8, and only 23 first-preference offers were made from 29 first-preference applications.
