West Hampstead Primary School
London, NW6 1QL · Camden · primary school
20th 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 — 9.4/10 against 1,420 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.14 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.35 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 21.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access swimming, a breakfast club, and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 424 pupils in a capacity of 446, leaving 22 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 competitive entry process for the remaining 22 places? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum?
