About Ashmount Primary School

Ashmount Primary School in Islington was rated Good across all categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently since its previous graded inspection. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment: 53% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Islington local authority average of 68%, placing Ashmount 33rd out of 39 primary schools in the borough. The school’s ranking score of 53 puts it in the bottom half nationally, though it’s worth noting that the school serves a significantly more disadvantaged cohort than many of its neighbours — 40.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. In reading, 80% of pupils met the expected standard and the average scaled score was 107, while in maths 65% met the expected standard with an average score of 103.
