  • “No cut-off” means every applicant was offered a place at the school or at a school they ranked higher, so places never ran out on distance.
Notes on the council’s figures
  • 2023, 2024 and 2026: Furthest distance N/A: the distance tie-breaker wasn't needed, so everyone who applied on time was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher.
  • 2022 and 2025: rules_uncertain: the school sets its own admission rules, which Harrow's documents don't restate; families on the distance criterion are judged as usual.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027

  • Because the academy's own sibling rules can't be confirmed from Harrow's documents, families with a sibling priority aren't judged in years when places ran out (rules_uncertain); families on the distance criterion are.

Questions about Aylward Primary School

How far away do you need to live to get into Aylward Primary School?

In the two years with a distance cut-off (2022 and 2025), it ranged from 2.74 miles (2025) to 3.28 miles (2022). In 2023, 2024 and 2026, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. 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 Aylward 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, children with a medical or social need and children under another priority, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2026, 29 of the 90 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

Has everyone who applied to Aylward Primary School been offered a place in past years?

In 2023, 2024 and 2026, yes: everyone who applied to Aylward Primary School was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. In 2022 and 2025, places ran out, so not everyone was offered a place.

How many applications does Aylward Primary School get?

In 2026, Aylward Primary School received 177 applications for 90 Reception places: about 2.0 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Between 2022 and 2026, applications ranged from 177 to 209 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 Aylward Primary School?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Aylward Primary School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 2.74 miles would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 3.28 miles away, in three of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.

Is Aylward Primary School oversubscribed?

Not in 2026: everyone who applied was offered a place at Aylward Primary School or at a school they ranked higher. It had 177 applications for 90 places, counting every preference families named. Many of those families were offered a school they ranked higher, so more applications than places doesn’t mean places ran out.
