If your child was born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, you will need to apply for a reception school place for September 2026. The closing date for applications is 15th January 2026.
We are lucky in Muswell Hill to have so many great primary schools in the area. But how do you choose which one is right for your child?
While Ofsted reports can give you a snapshot of a school, they don’t show you all aspects of what the school offers and what is important for your child.
Visiting a school can really help you get a feel for it and whether it would suit your child. Schools offer tours and other events in the autumn term where you can speak to staff and see the school in action.
Here are the dates of local primary schools’ upcoming tours and open events. All require booking and have limited spaces so please check on the schools’ website or contact the school beforehand to secure a place.
