About Brookfield Primary School

Brookfield Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits just one percentage point above the Camden local authority average of 75%, with 76% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That places the school 20th out of 38 primaries in the borough, squarely in the middle of the pack. The gap widens when you look at the higher standard: only 13% of pupils achieved the top tier across all three subjects, compared with 47% who reached that level in reading alone and 47% in maths. This suggests the school is effective at getting most children to the expected benchmark but less successful at pushing a large cohort into the highest attainment bracket. In the Camden context, 17 of the 41 primary schools are rated Outstanding, so Brookfield’s Good rating places it among the majority rather than the elite. The school’s national percentile of 17.4 puts it in the top quarter of all primaries nationally, which is a solid achievement given its diverse intake.
