About Claremont Primary School

Claremont Primary School’s headline metrics place it well below the Barnet local authority average for Key Stage 2, which sits at 73 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Claremont, that figure is just 47 per cent, a gap of 26 percentage points. The school ranks 79th out of 80 primary schools in Barnet on this measure, putting it in the bottom percentile for the borough. Its Progress 8 scores are not available, but the raw attainment data tells a clear story: only half of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and while 67 per cent hit it in reading, writing lagged at 57 per cent. The school also has a very high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 48.9 per cent, more than double the national average, which provides important context for these outcomes. Claremont is not a school that will suit families prioritising top-tier academic results, but its data suggests a school working with a significantly disadvantaged intake.
