Eleanor Palmer Primary School
London, NW5 2JA · Camden · primary school
1st of 38 primary schools in Camden we can score. 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 — 10.0/10 against 3,144 of them, against 9.8/10 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 | 93.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.95 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 28.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.43 |
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, 93.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 28.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in October 2023. 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 (10.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Multi-sports Club, Development Football Club, Choir, Gym Club, Club EP, ShiftED DT workshop, and Forest School. They also participate in Football, Run Kids Run, and Ukulele lessons, with trips to London Zoo. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 233 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 3 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for the remaining 3 places? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum?
