About Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School

Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School stands out sharply against the Camden primary average. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 75%, this school achieves 97% — a full 22 percentage points higher. That puts it second out of 38 primary schools in Camden, and in the top 1% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed by a factor of 7.7, with 231 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 83 families listing it as their first preference. That level of demand reflects a reputation that clearly extends beyond its Church of England foundation. It is a small school — 199 pupils against a capacity of 210 — and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 9.5%, below the national average, which suggests a relatively advantaged intake.
