Notes on the council’s figures
- 2022: rules_uncertain: the school sets its own admission rules, which Harrow's documents don't restate, and the Hindu-practice places may be capped, which we can't model; families on the distance criterion are judged as usual.
Things to know before you apply for September 2027

Questions about Avanti House Primary School
How far away do you need to live to get into Avanti House Primary School?
In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 1.31 miles away. In the five years with a distance cut-off (2022 to 2026), it ranged from 1.31 miles (2026) to 2.15 miles (2023). Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.
Do siblings get priority at Avanti House Primary School?
Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school get priority after looked-after and previously looked-after children, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2026, 26 of the 60 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.
How many applications does Avanti House Primary School get?
In 2026, Avanti House Primary School received 337 applications for 60 Reception places: about 5.6 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Between 2022 and 2026, applications ranged from 261 to 337 a year. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.
What are my chances of getting into Avanti House Primary School?
It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Avanti House Primary School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 1.31 miles would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 2.15 miles away, in none of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.
Is Avanti House Primary School oversubscribed?
Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 1.31 miles away.
Is Avanti House Primary School’s catchment getting smaller?
Avanti House Primary School has no fixed catchment area: places on distance go to the families living closest, so the cut-off moves each year. The distance cut-off shrank from 1.80 miles in 2025 to 1.31 miles in 2026. It depends on how many families apply and how many places go to siblings, so one year’s change doesn’t say what happens next.
What was Avanti House Primary School’s latest Ofsted inspection result?
