About Fitzjohn's Primary School

Fitzjohn's Primary School in Camden posts a Key Stage 2 combined expected standard score of 79%, which sits four percentage points above the local authority average of 75% for primary schools. That places the school 14th out of 38 primaries in Camden, putting it comfortably in the top half of the borough. It's a solid, above-average performer rather than an outlier at the very top — the three schools ahead of it all score 94 or above — but for families looking for a reliably good state option in a competitive London borough, that gap is worth noting. The school is oversubscribed by a factor of nine to one, with 272 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, and only 25 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents see real value here, even if the headline metrics don't put it in the borough's elite tier.
