Bousfield Primary School
London, SW5 0DJ · Kensington and Chelsea · primary school
14th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.7/10 against 4,278 of them, against 8.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 35.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.48 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 35.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club, holiday club, and Forest School. Sports include swimming, dance, and Borough leagues, while arts features dance and school performances. Curriculum visits are also part of the term.
Getting in. The school has 434 pupils in a capacity of 450, leaving 16 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 16 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with the core subjects during the week? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths?
