About Holy Ghost Catholic Primary School

Holy Ghost Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the Wandsworth average for its key stage 2 results, with 85% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 68%. That 17-point gap is significant and places the school sixth out of 55 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top 10% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 6% of all primary schools on the same measure. The school’s performance is particularly strong in reading and maths, where 95% of pupils met the expected standard in each, and average scaled scores of 111 and 110 respectively are well above the national benchmark of 100. A third of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, while half did so in maths and writing individually, and 60% in reading. These are strong headline metrics for a school of 193 pupils, and they suggest consistent academic delivery across the board.
