Braintcroft E-ACT Primary Academy: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 59 families put Braintcroft E-ACT Primary Academy as their first choice and 98 named it as one of their preferences, for 63 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 59 first choices in 2021, against 59 in 2026.
Across Brent, 88% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Brent lodged 40 appeals against primary school offers; 37 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
