St Monica's Catholic Primary School
London, N1 6QN · Hackney · primary school
30th of 50 primary schools in Hackney 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 — 9.5/10 against 1,878 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Science, Maths, Phonics, Handwriting, and Computing Clubs, as well as Piano, Dance, Art, and DT groups. Sports include football, multisport, swimming, The Daily Mile, and yoga. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 197 pupils in a building with 240 places, leaving 43 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with phonics or handwriting outside of the dedicated clubs? What are the specific arrangements for Year 6 students preparing for their SPaG assessments? How does the school manage the transition for children moving to secondary school without an after-school care option?
