About Whitchurch Primary School & Nursery

Whitchurch Primary School & Nursery’s headline KS2 metric sits slightly below the Harrow local authority average, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths compared with the LA average of 72%. That five-point gap places the school 24th out of 41 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the middle of the pack rather than among the top performers. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Maths is a clear strength: 83% of pupils met the expected standard and 40% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Reading and writing expected rates are 79% and 76% respectively, while the proportion achieving higher standards in those subjects is lower, at 32% and 21%. So while the combined headline figure trails the LA average, the school’s maths outcomes are notably strong, and the overall results are solid rather than weak.
