About St Patrick's Catholic Primary School

St Patrick's Catholic Primary School is a small state primary in the London borough of Camden, with just 121 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. It sits 33rd out of 38 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the bottom half of Camden’s state primaries. The top-performing peers in the area are Christ Church Primary School, Hampstead, Hampstead Parochial Church of England Primary School, and St Luke's Church of England School, all of which rank higher on the same local metrics. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2024, rated its overall effectiveness as not judged, but inspectors awarded Outstanding grades for personal development and leadership and management, with Good ratings for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2011, where leadership and management and early years provision were both rated Good.
