About Colville Primary School

Colville Primary School’s headline metrics put it comfortably ahead of the Kensington and Chelsea average for primary schools. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 72 per cent; Colville’s figure is 82 per cent. That ten-point gap places the school 11th out of 25 primaries in the borough, in the top half of its local peers. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects: 91 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 87 per cent in writing and 85 per cent in maths. At the higher standard, 22 per cent of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects, while 44 per cent reached that level in reading and writing individually, and 42 per cent in maths. These are strong results for a state primary in a competitive London borough, and they reflect a school that is delivering above-average outcomes across the board.
