Most applied-for Harrow primary schools

For 2026 entry, Vaughan Primary School had the most applications for each Reception place: 4.7 applications per place. That is its 427 applications for 2026 entry, divided by its 90 Reception places that year.

Applications count every family that named the school as any of their six preferences, so one child counts at several schools. A high number shows a school is popular; it doesn’t say how far away places were offered. For that, see each school’s cut-offs.

Not ranked: Avanti House Primary School, Hujjat Primary School, Krishna Avanti Primary School, Saint Jerome Church of England Bilingual School, St Anselm's Catholic Primary School, St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, St George's Primary Catholic Voluntary Academy, St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, St John's CofE School, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, St Teresa's Catholic Primary School and Nursery. Our figures cover only part of the intake there (for example one class), but applications are for the whole school, so a per-place figure would mislead.
