Avanti House Primary School

About Avanti House Primary School

Avanti House Primary School, a Hindu faith state primary in Harrow, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in December 2019, and an ungraded inspection in May 2025 noted that the school has improved significantly since then. The strongest academic indicator comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 school year: 82% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Harrow local authority average of 72%, and it places the school 10th out of 38 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top tier locally. In maths, every single pupil reached the expected standard, and 53% achieved the higher standard. Reading scores were similarly strong, with 97% reaching the expected level and 50% hitting the higher threshold. The school’s national percentile ranking of 8.2 means it outperforms the vast majority of primaries across England on this combined measure.

Ofsted’s breakdown shows that early years provision was rated Outstanding, while leadership, behaviour, personal development and the quality of education were all judged Good. The school’s parent view survey, collected between September 2024 and September 2025 from 161 respondents, is overwhelmingly positive: 98% of parents would recommend the school. On specific questions, 99% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school’s approach to SEND support drew a more mixed response, with 76% agreeing or strongly agreeing that children with special educational needs get the support they need, though 18% disagreed. The school lists provisions for speech, language and communication needs, social and emotional mental health, hearing impairment and physical disability.

The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 320 applications for 60 places, with 118 families putting it as their first preference. It is a Hindu faith school, and its facilities include a library, sports hall, sensory room, forest school and a chapel. Pupils can take part in clubs ranging from book club and science club to eco club, gardening and chess, and the sports on offer include athletics, gymnastics, dance, football and cross country. With 419 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is essentially full, and only 1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average. This is a school that suits families who value strong academic outcomes, a clear faith ethos, and a school where the vast majority of parents report high levels of happiness and safety.
