About Elmgrove Primary School & Nursery

Elmgrove Primary School & Nursery sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Harrow local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, which is a fair bit below the LA average of 72%. That gap of 12 percentage points is significant and places the school 35th out of 41 primary schools in Harrow, putting it in the bottom half of the borough. The picture is mixed when you dig into individual subjects: 81% of pupils hit the expected standard in maths, which is solid, but reading (66%) and writing (75%) lag behind. On the higher standard, just 6% achieved the top grade across all three subjects, and the school ranks 36th out of 38 in the LA on that measure. So while Elmgrove isn't struggling across the board, its combined outcomes are notably weaker than what most Harrow primaries deliver.
