St John Fisher Catholic Primary School
Pinner, HA5 5RA · Harrow · primary school
4th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.8/10 against 3,389 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 84.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024. 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 (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Catholic Children's Society and participate in sports via the Watford FC Community Sports and Education Trust. Arts activities include the Christmas Pantomime and Christmas Crafts. Trips visit North Harrow Library, Forest School, Odds Farm, Harrow Museum, Bekonscot Model Village, Hertfordshire Zoo, Headstone Manor Museum, and Shri Swaminarayan Temple. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 624 pupils in a capacity of 630, leaving 6 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when only 6 places remain? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the extensive termly trips organised for families with limited transport?
