Greig City 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, 157 families put Greig City Academy as their first choice and 604 named it as one of their preferences, for 191 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.
First-choice demand has risen from 66 in 2021 to 157 in 2026, while places went from 187 to 191.
Haringey published that the last place offered for 2026 entry went to a family 1.961 miles away. The cut-off moves every year with the number of applications.
Across Haringey, 77% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 97% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Haringey lodged 96 appeals against secondary school offers; 65 reached a hearing and 3 succeeded (4.6% of those heard).
