About Our Lady of Grace Catholic Junior School

Our Lady of Grace Catholic Junior School stands out sharply against the Brent local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 65%, this school achieves 82% — a significant 17 percentage points higher. That places it 7th out of 61 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 10 and well ahead of the typical Brent primary. The school also outperforms on individual subjects: 89% of pupils meet the expected standard in maths, 86% in writing and 84% in reading. This is a school that consistently delivers results well above the local norm, and the gap is wide enough to suggest genuine strength rather than statistical noise.
