About St Clement Danes CofE Primary School

St Clement Danes CofE Primary School in Westminster has been rated Outstanding in every category of its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in November 2024. The school received top marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This continues a strong track record, as it was also rated Outstanding in its previous graded inspection in 2014. But the most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 91% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure puts the school well above the Westminster local authority average of 74% for the same measure, and it ranks 5th out of 31 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it sits in the top 2% of all primary schools for this combined expected standard, a genuinely impressive showing for a relatively small school of 192 pupils.
