About Richard Cobden Primary School
Richard Cobden Primary School in Camden holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in December 2024 where inspectors confirmed standards were being upheld. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 75 per cent. That figure matches the Camden local authority average exactly, placing the school in the middle of the pack locally. It ranks 22nd out of 38 primary schools in the borough and sits in the top 25 per cent nationally by this measure. While the combined figure is solid, the individual subject breakdowns show some variation: maths has the highest expected rate at 88 per cent, followed by reading at 84 per cent and writing at 79 per cent. The school also achieves strong average scaled scores of 107 in maths and 106 in reading.
