About St Eugene de Mazenod Roman Catholic Primary School

St Eugene de Mazenod Roman Catholic Primary School in Camden was rated Outstanding in every category of its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a clean sweep that includes quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is the school’s second consecutive Outstanding rating, having also achieved the top grade in its previous inspection in 2010. On the most telling exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Camden local authority average of 75% for the same measure, placing St Eugene de Mazenod 12th out of 41 primary schools in the borough. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 30% of pupils reaching that level across all three subjects.

Digging deeper into the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school’s maths average score of 112 is notably high, and 65% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths alone. Reading also impresses, with an average score of 108 and 52% reaching the higher threshold. Writing sees 35% of pupils working at greater depth. These outcomes place the school in the top 10% of primary schools in Camden by its ranking score of 83, and within the top 7% nationally. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures are strong across the board. The school’s 204 pupils are drawn from a diverse intake, with 45.6% eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, which makes the academic results all the more notable.

The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 77 applications for 30 places and 19 first-preference offers, giving a ratio of 2.57 applicants per place.
