About Park Walk Primary School

Park Walk Primary School sits in a competitive corner of Kensington and Chelsea, and its headline numbers put it well ahead of the local average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 sits at 72%, Park Walk achieves 91% — a gap of 19 percentage points. That places the school 5th out of 28 primaries in the borough, just behind a cluster of top performers all scoring 93. Nationally, it ranks in the top 2% of all primary schools on this measure. The school is also comfortably oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 93 applications, with 21 families putting it as their first choice. Only 20 first-preference offers were made, giving a first-preference success rate of around 95% — meaning most who wanted it got in, but competition is real.
