About Grasmere Primary School

Grasmere Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2022. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 67% of pupils met the expected standard across all three subjects. That figure sits below the Hackney local authority average of 74%, placing Grasmere 39th out of 49 primary schools in the borough. The school’s national percentile ranking of 40th puts it in the middle of the pack nationally. While the headline combined figure is modest, individual subject results tell a slightly different story: 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 71% did so in both reading and maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard in any single subject was low, with writing the strongest at 29%.
