About West Lodge Primary School

West Lodge Primary School sits comfortably above the Harrow local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 72%, West Lodge achieves 75%. That three-point gap might sound modest, but it places the school 16th out of 38 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top half of local schools. More striking is the school's performance at the higher standard: 16% of pupils hit that top tier in reading, writing and maths, and in maths alone 62% reached the higher threshold. The average maths scaled score of 112 and reading score of 110 both point to a cohort that is performing well above the national average of 100. For parents comparing options in Harrow, West Lodge is a solid, above-average performer that doesn't quite break into the top tier — the nearest outstanding school, Cannon Lane Primary, is 1.2 km away — but delivers strong results across the board.
