# Schools in Hackney

66 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, 88.1% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 97.1% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 3.7 points higher than in 2016, when it was 84.4%.

The council's primary schools between them had 2,405 places for 1,677 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


### Secondary

For September 2026, 74.6% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 93.2% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 7.1 points higher than in 2016, when it was 67.5%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 2,489 places for 2,029 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 Hackney lodged 131 appeals about a school place.

85 of them were heard by a panel and 4 succeeded, which is about 5 in every 100 heard.

The other 46 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 Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.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

9 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 |

| [Gainsborough Primary School, London](/school/100225/gainsborough-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Harrington Hill Primary School, London](/school/100256/harrington-hill-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit |
| [Millfields Community School, London](/school/100231/millfields-community-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Queensbridge Primary School, London](/school/100235/queensbridge-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Shoreditch Park Primary School, London](/school/100245/shoreditch-park-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Simon Marks Jewish Primary School, London](/school/100275/simon-marks-jewish-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Thomas Fairchild Community School, London](/school/100243/thomas-fairchild-community-school) | primary | Resourced provision |

| [The Excelsior Academy, London](/school/131062/the-excelsior-academy) | 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.
