St Joseph's Catholic Infant 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, 70 families put St Joseph's Catholic Infant School as their first choice and 133 named it as one of their preferences, for 70 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 fallen from 87 in 2021 to 70 in 2026.

Brent published that the last place offered for 2026 entry went to a family 1369 metres away. The cut-off moves every year with the number of applications.

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.

Figures as each council published them, in the unit it used. The cut-off is not a boundary: it moves every year with the number of applications.
