About Bousfield Primary School

Bousfield Primary School sits within the Kensington and Chelsea local authority, where it ranks 10th out of 25 primary schools on its key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it in the top 40 per cent of schools locally, though it is outranked by three top peers: Oratory Roman Catholic Primary School, Fox Primary School, and Thomas Jones Primary School, all of which share a ranking score of 93. The school is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, led by headteacher Jane Griffiths. It has a nursery provision and currently accommodates 431 pupils against a capacity of 450, so it is running close to full. Just over 13 per cent of pupils qualify for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The nearest outstanding-rated primary is Servite RC Primary School, just 0.6 kilometres away, meaning families in this corner of the borough have several strong options to weigh up.
