About Fox Primary School

Fox Primary School holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, with every category assessed — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Outstanding. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 93% achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a local authority average of 72%. That places the school firmly in the top tier nationally. Within Kensington and Chelsea, Fox ranks second among 28 state primary schools, tied on a ranking score of 93 with Oratory Roman Catholic and Thomas Jones. The borough has 13 Outstanding primaries, so the competition is stiff, but Fox’s raw attainment figures put it in the top 1% of all primary schools across England.
