About St Mary's Bryanston Square CofE School

St Mary's Bryanston Square CofE School is a small Church of England primary in Westminster that punches well above the local average on academic outcomes. In its most recent Key Stage 2 results, 100% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Westminster local authority average of 74%. That is a striking 26 percentage point gap, and it places the school first out of 31 primaries in the borough on this metric. Nationally, it ranks 36th out of nearly 14,000 schools, putting it in the top 0.3% of all primary schools in the country. The school is also oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 78 families applied for just 28 places, with 22 of those offers going to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests local parents see the same standout results the data shows.
