About Rhyl Community Primary School

Rhyl Community Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit slightly below the Camden local authority average, with 72% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths compared with the LA average of 75%. That gap is modest, but it tells only part of the story. The school’s maths and reading average scores — 105 and 106 respectively — are solid, and 87% of pupils met the expected standard in maths alone, a strong showing. Where Rhyl really stands out is in its Ofsted rating: the school was judged Outstanding across every category in its February 2024 inspection, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership. That’s a significant jump from its previous Good rating in 2013, and it places Rhyl among 17 Outstanding primaries in Camden out of 41 total schools of its type. The school ranks 25th in the borough on the KS2 expected standard metric, but its Ofsted outcome suggests inspectors saw something the raw scores don’t fully capture.
