Best primary schools in Kensington and Chelsea

25 of 40 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Kensington and Chelsea schools · secondary schools

Ranked on Met expected standard (RWM), 2024/25 — the most recent year each school has published. Official data, not our opinion — but the ranking is only as good as the measure, and a single number never describes a school.

Applying in Kensington and Chelsea

Knowing which school is best is only half of it — these are the deadlines that decide whether you can apply at all.

Rankings compare published results. They do not tell you which school your child will get into — that depends on where you live, sibling and faith priority, and how many people apply this year. Ask below, or check the Kensington and Chelsea admission criteria.
