About Kings Cross Academy

Kings Cross Academy’s Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Camden average for primary schools, which is 75% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At this school, just 44% of pupils hit that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, placing it 38th out of 41 primary schools in the borough and in the bottom 50% nationally. The gap is significant, and it’s worth noting that the school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 48.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average. That context matters when interpreting the raw scores. On individual subjects, the picture is slightly more mixed: 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, 62% in reading, and 56% in maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects combined was just 2%, though 17% did so in reading and 13% in maths. The school’s average reading score was 103 and maths 100, both close to the national average of 100.
