About Avondale Park Primary School

Avondale Park Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest full inspection taking place in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 50%. This places the school 23rd out of 25 primary schools in Kensington and Chelsea, in the bottom 50% nationally. While the local authority average for this measure is 72%, Avondale Park’s result reflects the particular challenges of a school where 47.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average. The Ofsted report awarded Good marks across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision, suggesting the school is performing solidly in a demanding context.
