# Schools in Camden

48 schools with published admissions figures

"1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate and it does not say whether a child would be offered a place. A dash means the figure is not held.

## How the 2026 round went

Counts families, not schools. The table below cannot be added up into these figures, because a child naming three schools appears in three of its rows.

### Primary

For September 2026, 81.5% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 93.4% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is much the same as in 2016, when it was 80.6%.

The council's primary schools between them had 1,460 places for 1,251 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


### Secondary

For September 2026, 73.7% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 89.9% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 1.2 points higher than in 2016, when it was 72.5%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 1,577 places for 1,261 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


## If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Camden lodged 61 appeals about a school place.

29 of them were heard by a panel and 6 succeeded, which is about 21 in every 100 heard.

The other 32 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.

## Schools here running specialist SEN provision

7 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school.

| School | Phase | What it runs |
|---|---|---|
| [Kentish Town Church of England Primary School, London](/school/100034/kentish-town-church-of-england-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Netley Primary School, London](/school/100018/netley-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Primrose Hill School, London](/school/100020/primrose-hill-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Torriano Primary School, London](/school/100023/torriano-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Acland Burghley School, London](/school/100053/acland-burghley-school) | secondary | Resourced provision |
| [Haverstock School, London](/school/100049/haverstock-school) | secondary | Resourced provision |
| [Regent High School, London](/school/100051/regent-high-school) | secondary | Resourced provision |

This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council. Source: Department for Education, special educational needs in England.
