Grasmere Primary School
London, N16 9PD · Hackney · primary school
8th of 50 primary schools in Hackney 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 — 9.7/10 against 3,892 of them, against 9.5/10 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.22 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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, 90.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 19.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. 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 (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Drumming and Dance, Forest School, Hackney School of Food, Competitions, Languages, Chess, Gymnastics, and Cricket. Trips include The Garden Classroom, The Unicorn Theatre, The Ragged Museum, The Tate Modern, Hackney Museum, The Tower of London, Coding and Robotics Workshops, and Fire Brigade Workshops. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 220 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 16 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the breakfast club into the main day? With 16 places remaining, what is the current waitlist status for new admissions? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with the core maths and reading lessons?
