The Devonshire Hill Nursery & Primary 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, 38 families put The Devonshire Hill Nursery & Primary School as their first choice and 74 named it as one of their preferences, for 39 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 31 in 2021 to 38 in 2026, while places went from 31 to 39.
22% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Haringey, 86% 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 Haringey lodged 19 appeals against primary school offers; 15 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
