Schools in Edgware
Edgware sits on the northern edge of the London Borough of Barnet, and its 14 primary schools are administered by Barnet Council using a nearest-school distance criterion for community schools. The area is home to a high proportion of faith schools - including Jewish, Church of England and Roman Catholic schools - meaning that a significant portion of places are allocated on faith criteria before distance, which can make community-school competition more intense for non-faith applicants.
Secondary provision in Edgware itself is limited to one secondary - Whitefield School - with families frequently also applying to schools in neighbouring Harrow, Brent and the wider Barnet borough. Barnet uses straight-line distance for its community schools; the London-wide secondary application deadline is 31 October with offers on 1 March. Given the density of faith schools in Edgware, parents should review each school's oversubscription criteria carefully - catchment.school lists last-offered distances and criteria summaries for all Edgware schools.
