Queens Park Community School: 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, 209 families put Queens Park Community School as their first choice and 563 named it as one of their preferences, for 212 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: 224 first choices in 2021, against 209 in 2026.
Brent published that the last place offered for 2026 entry went to a family 2647 metres away. The cut-off moves every year with the number of applications.
Across Brent, 70% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 93% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Brent lodged 137 appeals against secondary school offers; 123 reached a hearing and 5 succeeded (4.1% of those heard).
