About St Thomas' CofE Primary School

St Thomas' CofE Primary School in Kensington and Chelsea received an Outstanding rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025, with every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Outstanding. That’s a clean sweep, and it matches the school’s previous Outstanding grade from 2014. On the most telling exam metric for a primary, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 64 per cent. That sits below the local authority average of 72 per cent, and it places the school 18th out of 25 primary schools in Kensington and Chelsea. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 84 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, and 80 per cent did so in maths, but writing lagged at 72 per cent. At the higher standard, reading stood out with 52 per cent of pupils achieving it, while maths and writing both sat at 12 per cent.
