About Cowley St Laurence CofE Primary School

Cowley St Laurence CofE Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Hillingdon, but its headline KS2 figure tells a slightly more nuanced story. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64%. At Cowley St Laurence, that figure is 57% — seven points below the LA average, which places the school 41st out of 67 primary schools in the borough and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture isn't uniformly below par. In reading and writing individually, 70% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average scaled scores in both reading and maths sit at 103 — exactly in line with the national average of 100. So while the combined measure lags, individual subject performance is more solid, and the school's ranking within London (1338 out of 1592) reflects a similar pattern of being slightly below the regional norm.
