About Priestmead Primary School and Nursery

Priestmead Primary School and Nursery sits within the Harrow local authority, where it ranks 13th out of 38 primary schools — comfortably inside the top third of its peers. Among the highest-scoring schools in the borough are Krishna Avanti Primary School, St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, and St Anselm's Catholic Primary School, all of which sit above Priestmead in the local rankings. Still, Priestmead is one of only ten primary schools in Harrow rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its most recent graded inspection in December 2023 awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a clean sweep of Outstanding grades, and a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, where early years provision was graded as Requires Improvement. The school is led by headteacher Amy Creamer and serves 880 pupils from ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site.
