Miles Coverdale Primary School

About Miles Coverdale Primary School

Miles Coverdale Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority average, where 76% of pupils typically reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At this school, 89% of pupils hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, placing it seventh out of 35 primary schools in the borough and inside the top 5% nationally. That gap of 13 percentage points is significant, and it’s backed up by strong scores in individual subjects: 93% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and maths, and 96% did so in writing. The school also pushes a good number of children beyond that baseline, with 32% reaching the higher standard in reading and 25% in writing. These figures suggest a school that consistently delivers above-average outcomes for its pupils, particularly given that over 40% of its 225 children are eligible for free school meals, a well above-average level of disadvantage.

The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in March 2024, awarded it Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep, and it matches the Outstanding grade it held in its previous inspection in 2013. In terms of progress measures, the data doesn’t include Progress 8 scores for this primary, but the raw attainment figures are strong enough to place the school in the top tier of its local authority ranking. With 14 out of 37 primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham rated Outstanding, Miles Coverdale is in good company, but its combination of high attainment and high disadvantage makes its results particularly notable. The school’s ranking score of 89 reflects this performance, and it sits just behind local peers like John Betts Primary and St Peter’s Primary in the LA table.

Miles Coverdale is a three-form entry primary with 26 places available for Reception in 2025/26, and it is oversubscribed: 75 families applied for those spots, with 20 listing it as their first preference. The oversubscription ratio of 2.88 tells you it’s a popular choice locally. Facilities include a library, sensory room, ICT suite, playing fields, forest school and even a chapel, which is unusual for a school with no religious character. Sports on offer range from gymnastics and netball to swimming and cricket, and clubs include drama, choir, art and gardening. The school has a dedicated SEN unit and provides support for specific learning difficulties, speech and language needs, social and emotional mental health, and autistic spectrum disorder. For families in Hammersmith and Fulham looking for a high-performing state primary that serves a diverse intake and offers strong pastoral and SEND support, this school is a standout option.
