24th of 38 primary schools in Camden we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.9/10 against 339 of them, against 5.5/10 nationally. 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Pupils thrive at this “safe, nurturing and inclusive school” where staff and pupils are “happy and extremely proud” of their community. Leaders maintain “high aspirations for everyone,” ensuring that disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive “excellent support and guidance” to flourish. The school provides a high-quality education from the early years through to the final stages, preparing pupils well for life in modern Britain.
Strengths

- Teachers possess “secure subject knowledge” and use “skilful questioning” to reinforce concepts and address misconceptions, while adapting their approach “exceptionally well” for pupils with SEND.
- Reading is an “absolute priority,” with skilled staff helping pupils decode words and develop into “fluent readers” through regular assessment and daily additional support for those who need it.
- Pupils behave “exceptionally well” due to clear, consistently applied expectations, and bullying is “extremely rare” and dealt with effectively when it occurs.
