Ark Atwood Primary Academy
London, W9 2JY · Westminster · primary school
6th of 32 primary schools in Westminster we can score, 33 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.5/10 against 1,372 of them, against 8.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 16.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs for dance, recorder, drawing, jewellery making, crochet, ballet, sewing, and STEM. Sports include athletics, while arts and music options cover choir, Lego, drama, guitar, violin, clarinet, and flute. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 431 pupils in a capacity of 450 places, leaving 19 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving with no prior breakfast club experience? What specific support is offered to the 16.0% who reached the higher standard to extend their learning? How are the 19 remaining places allocated if demand exceeds capacity?
