About John Betts Primary School

John Betts Primary School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 96% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Hammersmith and Fulham average of 76%. That 20-point gap is striking, and it’s backed up by strong higher-standard scores: 28% of pupils hit the higher benchmark in all three subjects, while 60% did so in reading and 56% in maths. The school’s average scaled scores of 111 in reading and 110 in maths are also comfortably above the national baseline of 100. These results place John Betts first out of 35 primary schools in the borough, and in the top 1% nationally. It’s a clear outlier in a local authority that already has 14 outstanding-rated primaries nearby.
