About The Jenny Hammond Primary School

The Jenny Hammond Primary School in Waltham Forest holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in 2012 and an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this 4-11 mixed state primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which is four percentage points above the Waltham Forest local authority average of 74%. That places the school 17th out of 48 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 35% locally. The school also ranks within the top 25% nationally on this measure, a solid result that suggests consistent teaching across the core subjects.
