Notes on the council’s figures
  • 2026: Harrow's 2027-28 guide reprints this row differently: staff child 1.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027

  • Less predictable The distance cut-off has moved a lot from year to year (between 0.45 and 0.87 miles), and the share of places going to siblings has swung (29 of 60 places in 2022, 11 of 60 in 2026). Treat past cut-offs here with extra caution.
  • The distance cut-off shrank from 0.87 miles in 2025 to 0.80 miles in 2026.
  • Children with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) naming the school are admitted before the criteria.

Admission criteria at Roxeth Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 rules offer places in this order. In 2026, the last places went to children in group 6.

  1. Looked-after children and children who were previously looked after (adopted, or under a child arrangements or special guardianship order), including children who were in state care outside England.
  2. Children for whom it is essential to go to this school because of significant medical and/or social needs, with evidence from a hospital consultant or a Children's Services director (usually only for the school closest to home).
  3. Children of a parent with special medical reasons for this school, with evidence from a hospital consultant (usually only for the school closest to home).
  4. Children with a brother or sister at the school (or its linked infant or junior school) at the time of admission.
  5. Children of staff employed by the school for two or more years when the application is made, or recruited to a post with a demonstrable skills shortage.
  6. Other children, in order of straight-line distance from home to the centre point of the school site (measured by Harrow Council). Equal distances are decided by random computer selection.

Questions about Roxeth Primary School

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

In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 0.80 miles away. In the five years with a distance cut-off (2022 to 2026), it ranged from 0.45 miles (2022) to 0.87 miles (2025). 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 Roxeth Primary School?

Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school come fourth in the order of priority, after looked-after and previously looked-after children, children with a medical or social need and children under another priority. In 2026, 11 of the 60 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

How many applications does Roxeth Primary School get?

In 2026, Roxeth Primary School received 200 applications for 60 Reception places: about 3.3 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Between 2022 and 2026, applications ranged from 192 to 221 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 Roxeth Primary School?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Roxeth Primary School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 0.45 miles would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 0.87 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 Roxeth Primary School oversubscribed?

Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 0.80 miles away. It had 200 applications for 60 places, counting every preference families named.

Is Roxeth Primary School’s catchment getting smaller?

Roxeth 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 0.87 miles in 2025 to 0.80 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 Roxeth Primary School’s latest Ofsted inspection result?

At its graded inspection on 24 September 2024, Ofsted gave Roxeth Primary School no overall grade (it stopped giving one in September 2024). It judged quality of education Good, behaviour and attitudes Good, personal development Outstanding, leadership and management Good and early years provision Good. From Ofsted’s data as at 30 September 2026. The full report is on Ofsted’s website.
