About St Paul's Church of England Primary School

St Paul’s Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Camden when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes, which is a solid result for a school with a much higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals. In the 2023/24 academic year, 77% of its Year 6 pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, just ahead of the Camden local authority average of 75% for primary schools. That places the school 18th out of 38 primaries in the borough, and 16th when ranked by its overall score — a respectable mid-table position. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 105, which is exactly in line with the national expectation. Given that 40.6% of its 187 pupils are on free school meals — well above the national average — these results suggest the school is doing a decent job of supporting its intake, even if it isn’t pushing into the top tier of Camden’s primaries.
