London, W10 6DW · Kensington and Chelsea · primary school

Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
2.3/10 Below average

25th of 25 primary schools in Kensington and Chelsea we can score, 26 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 — 4.2/10 against 870 of them, against 3.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 338 pupils in a school with 370 places, leaving 32 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the breakfast club into the main school day?
