Lady Margaret School
London, SW6 4UN · Hammersmith and Fulham · secondary school
1st of 11 secondary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 840 of them, against 9.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 81.5 · 95 | 30% | 2.85 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.74 · 92 | 25% | 2.31 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 66.3 · 96 | 10% | 0.96 |
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, 81.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 66.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.74 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. 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, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Senior drama club, House Dance, and House Spelling Bee. Sports include Netball, Cricket, and the Rock Challenge. Arts activities feature the House Pantomime and School Production. Trips include theatre visits and a Netball tour. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 780 pupils in a capacity of 538 places, exceeding capacity by 242. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who need to catch up in English and maths? How does the after-school club operate for students with early morning commitments?
