Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Dollis Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 22 Reception places. There are about 22.9 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
