Elmgrove Primary School & Nursery: 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, 76 families put Elmgrove Primary School & Nursery as their first choice and 212 named it as one of their preferences, for 94 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: 76 first choices in 2021, against 76 in 2026.
Across Harrow, 87% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 98% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Harrow lodged 24 appeals against primary school offers; 19 reached a hearing and 1 succeeded (5.3% of those heard).
