About Hallfield Primary School

Hallfield Primary School’s headline metrics put it comfortably ahead of the Westminster local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 74%. That nine-point gap is a solid indicator that this school is delivering above the norm for its borough. The school also ranks 10th out of 31 primary schools in Westminster, placing it in the top third locally and in the top 10% nationally. For a state primary with a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (45.5%), these outcomes are particularly striking and suggest that the school’s approach is working well for its intake.

Digging into the detail of those KS2 results, the strengths are clear. In reading, 96% of pupils reached the expected standard and 67% achieved the higher standard — a notably strong showing. Maths was similarly impressive, with 96% at expected and 38% at the higher level, while writing saw 83% at expected and 21% at higher. The average scaled scores of 111 in reading and 109 in maths are both above the national benchmark of 100. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, a graded visit in 2013, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in July 2023 confirmed that the school remains Good. This is a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, when it was rated Requires Improvement, so the trajectory has been positive.

Hallfield is a two-form entry primary with nursery provision for children from age two, and it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, with 48 applications for 27 places and 18 first-preference offers. The school has a broad range of facilities including a sensory room, forest school, art studios, music rooms, a sports hall and playing fields. It offers clubs in coding, choir and gardening, and sports including football, netball and athletics. The SEND provision is well-developed, with support for moderate learning difficulties, speech, language and communication needs, social and emotional mental health, physical disability, and a resourced provision. This is a school that suits families looking for strong academic outcomes in a diverse, inclusive setting, particularly those whose children may benefit from additional support.
