Christopher Hatton Primary School
London, EC1R 4PQ · Camden · primary school
8th of 38 primary schools in Camden we can score. 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 — 9.7/10 against 1,630 of them, against 9.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 34% | 3.29 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.29 |
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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 19.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join pottery, building explorers, art, basketball, and taekwondo clubs. They participate in cross country, dance, swimming, orienteering, rock climbing, and kayaking, plus a trip to Sayers Croft. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 228 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 18. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the various sports and clubs scheduled to avoid conflicts with core lessons?
