St Anselm's Catholic Primary School
Harrow, HA1 3BE · Harrow · primary school
9th of 38 primary schools in Harrow we can score, 40 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,562 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9/10 among them, against 7.8/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9 out of 10 among them, against 7.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Geography Club, Champions of Antarctica, and Recorder club, while KS2 students participate in a choir and lunch-time singing. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 408 pupils against a capacity of 420, leaving 12 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to help the 10.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its admissions process?
