About Christ The King Catholic Primary School

Christ The King Catholic Primary School is one of 41 state primary schools in Islington, ranking 28th in the local authority on the combined Key Stage 2 expected standard measure. The top-performing peers in the borough are Drayton Park Primary School, Gillespie Primary School and Winton Primary School, all of which score higher on this metric. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher John Lane leads a school that is significantly undersubscribed relative to its capacity — it has 254 pupils against a capacity of 451.
