Headteacher Nina Will leads a mixed, non-religious state school in the London borough of Harrow.

In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Harrow local authority average of 72%. The school’s score of 77 on this metric places it 14th out of 38 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 25% of schools nationally. Individual subject results were strong: 90% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 109, and 42% achieved the higher standard. In reading, 80% reached the expected level, with an average score of 106, and 34% hit the higher standard. Writing saw 86% at expected and 23% at the higher level.

The school offers a wide range of facilities and provisions that will appeal to families looking for a well-supported environment.

Sports on offer include football, swimming, cricket, tennis, netball, cross country and dance, while clubs range from science and chess to drama, choir, film and gardening. For children with additional needs, the school lists support for moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, visual impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder.
