About Fryent Primary School

Fryent Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Brent local authority average, a significant gap for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 43% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a borough average of 65%. That places the school 48th out of 52 primary schools in Brent, firmly in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 88th percentile, meaning roughly 88% of primary schools across England outperformed it on this measure. The picture is similar across individual subjects: 52% hit the expected level in reading, 51% in maths, and 60% in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 4%, and average scores in reading (101) and maths (102) are only marginally above the national baseline of 100.
