About St Alban's Church of England Primary School

St Alban's Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other Camden primaries, but its headline KS2 figure tells a slightly different story. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 74%, which is just one percentage point below the Camden local authority average of 75%. That's a very narrow gap, and it places St Alban's 23rd out of 38 primaries in the borough — squarely in the middle third. However, the school's ranking score of 74 puts it in the top 25% nationally, suggesting its performance is stronger relative to schools across England than it is within its own competitive London borough. The school is also significantly smaller than many of its peers, with just 92 pupils against a capacity of 236, and a high proportion of children eligible for free school meals at 59.6%, which makes its near-average KS2 result a notable achievement in context.
