About St Clement and St James CofE Primary School

St Clement and St James CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Kensington and Chelsea, one of 28 state primaries in the borough. It ranks 24th out of those 28 schools on its KS2 reading, writing and maths combined expected standard, placing it in the bottom half of the local authority. The three top-performing peers in the area — Oratory Roman Catholic Primary, Fox Primary and Thomas Jones Primary — all share a ranking score of 93, a significant gap from this school’s score of 44. With just 126 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is notably undersubscribed, yet it received 47 applications for 30 places in 2025/26, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 1.57.
