Read the official admission rulesHow places were allocated at Harrow Primary Schools for September 2026 on 16th April 2026 (Reception). The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
