About Christopher Hatton Primary School

Christopher Hatton Primary School in Camden holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating from its most recent inspection in 2022, with every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Outstanding. That clean sweep is backed up by some of the strongest primary exam results in the borough. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 90% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well above the Camden local authority average of 75%. That performance places the school 4th out of 38 primary schools in Camden, putting it in the top 5% of schools locally and in the top 2% nationally. It also sits just behind three outstanding church schools at the very top of the Camden rankings.
