About Eleanor Palmer Primary School
Eleanor Palmer Primary School sits in the London borough of Camden, a local authority where 17 out of 41 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Among this select group, the school ranks alongside some of the area’s most sought-after state primaries, with Christ Church Primary School in Hampstead, Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School, and St Luke’s Church of England School all appearing as top peers in the local landscape. The school’s nearest Outstanding neighbour is Kentish Town Church of England Primary School, just 0.1 kilometres away, placing Eleanor Palmer in a pocket of Camden that is well served by high-performing state education. Headteacher Kate Frood leads a mixed, state-funded primary for pupils aged 3 to 11, with a total roll of 225 children. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in September 2023, and the report confirmed Outstanding ratings across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a continuation of the Outstanding grade it also received in its previous inspection in 2011.
