Check the area around this school
14th 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 — 9.6/10 against 3,383 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 42.0 · 100 | 25% | 2.50 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this friendly school where leaders encourage values such as respect and compassion. Staff are highly ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, enabling them to flourish and achieve very highly in core subjects. The school provides a rich curriculum with exemplary behaviour and outstanding personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is described as “exemplary in all areas of the school,” with children being polite and treating each other with respect.
- Leaders have designed a “rich and ambitious curriculum” with learning broken down into “well-organised steps” to help pupils build knowledge progressively.
- Early years provision is outstanding, with “exceptional” curricular thinking and a language-rich environment helping children become articulate.
- Teachers possess “strong subject knowledge and expertise,” effectively checking for and addressing gaps in pupils’ understanding.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities “thrive in this school,” with staff adapting learning to meet their needs effectively.
Areas to improve
- Staff providing additional support have “varying levels of expertise,” leading to inconsistencies in how quickly some pupils catch up, particularly in foundation subjects. Leaders must ensure all staff have subject-specific expertise to help pupils remember more of the taught curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with all staff understanding procedures, leaders acting promptly on concerns, and the governing body providing strong oversight.
