St Paul's CofE Primary School
About St Paul's CofE Primary School
St Paul's CofE Primary School sits in a competitive corner of Hammersmith and Fulham, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a mixed story against the local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 76 per cent, but at St Paul's that figure is 68 per cent — eight points below the borough norm. That said, the school's average scaled scores in reading (104) and maths (103) are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while fewer children hit the combined benchmark, those who do are performing solidly. The school ranks 26th out of 35 primary schools in the LA on this metric, placing it in the bottom quarter locally. However, context matters: St Paul's has a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 29.9 per cent, which is well above the national average and likely influences overall attainment figures.
