Hujjat Primary School
similar schools
Hujjat Primary School is a free school in Harrow for boys and girls aged 4 to 11. It has 356 pupils and room for 420. About 21 in every 100 pupils come from a low-income family, a bit fewer than at most schools. We give it 93 out of 100. That puts it well above schools like it, ahead of 92% of the 50 schools most like it. Ofsted's last grade was good, back in 2023.

Getting a place
Open to all. There is no entrance test. As a Muslim school it may put families of that faith first. Check the school's own admissions rules.
122 places were empty (29% of the total), so almost everyone who applies gets in. Pupil numbers have grown by 150% since 2021/22.
How places were given out for September 2026. More children applied than there were places. The last place went to a child who qualified under the looked-after or EHCP priority rule (Special Educational Needs EHC Plans), so all the places were taken before distance came into it.

Staff and money
From the government's count of school staff in November 2025 and the school's published accounts.
Money
From the academy accounts return, year to August 2025. The per-pupil figures are compared with other primary schools in England that report their accounts the same way.
Reserves are the money left over at the end of the year, kept back for emergencies and big projects. Being in the red year after year is a warning sign. Very large reserves can mean money sitting in the bank instead of being spent on today's pupils. Academy figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and include a share of any money the trust holds centrally.
The area around the school
Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.

Compared with schools like it
Our score compares Hujjat Primary School with the 47 schools in England whose pupils are most like its own. We match on family income, how many children are learning English, special needs, the neighbourhood, the size of the school and how it admits pupils. Those 47 schools are dotted all over the country, so we don't list them. What matters is where this school sits among them.
No school with a similar mix of pupils within 25 km scores clearly higher.
How the score was worked out
The score is out of 100. A 93 means that once everything below is added up, this school comes out ahead of 93% of primary schools in England. Results bounce around from year to year, especially in small schools, so we also show a likely range: 83 to 98. Every part is judged against schools with a similar mix of pupils. For small schools we pull each part towards the group average, so one unusual year can't swing the score too far.
