Check the area around this school
16th of 35 primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score, 36 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 8.2/10 against 3,977 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 38% | 3.43 |
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 Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are “genuinely happy” and encouraged to be “proud of themselves and their achievements.” Leaders promote a “culture of high academic excellence,” supported by “consistently strong published outcomes” in English and mathematics. The inspection highlights a “close-knit, supportive community” where staff foster “nurturing professional relationships” with pupils.
Strengths
- Personal development is rated Outstanding, with pupils taught to “love and respect one another” and encouraged to recognise their emotions through regular ‘Talk time’ sessions.
- Early years provision is rated Outstanding, with children learning routines quickly and engaging eagerly in activities like democratic voting for story time.
- Reading is a significant strength; pupils become “confident and competent readers swiftly” due to effective phonics teaching and matched reading books.
- The curriculum is “sequenced logically” in most subjects, ensuring knowledge “builds cumulatively” as pupils progress through the school.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive “effective help and support to learn the curriculum alongside their peers.”
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teaching does not emphasise the most important subject knowledge, and checks on pupils’ recall do not focus consistently on key information.
- Consequently, gaps in pupils’ knowledge and misconceptions are not spotted or addressed routinely in these specific subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
