Wormholt Park Primary School

About Wormholt Park Primary School

Wormholt Park Primary School sits in the bottom third of primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham, ranking 32nd out of 35 schools in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 57%, which is notably below the LA average of 76%. That gap of 19 percentage points is significant and places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. Only 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 13% did so in maths. The school is also heavily oversubscribed, with 86 applications for 47 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, though that likely reflects local demand rather than academic reputation. For context, the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, Ark Conway Primary Academy, is just 0.3 km away, so families in the area do have higher-performing options nearby.

The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2023 rated it Good overall, with two Outstanding judgements: one for personal development and another for behaviour and attitudes. The quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. This is a solid improvement from its previous inspection in 2013, which was also Good but with no Outstanding categories. At Key Stage 2, the average reading score was 104 and maths 102, both slightly above the national average of 100. However, the school’s progress scores for reading, writing and maths were not published in the data, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. With 47.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — the school serves a significantly disadvantaged intake, which may partly explain the lower headline attainment figures.

Wormholt Park is a three-form entry primary with nursery provision for children from age 3, and it has a broad range of facilities including a gymnasium, playing fields, a sensory room, art studios, music rooms, a library, and even a chapel. Sports on offer include athletics, netball, cross country, swimming and cricket, while clubs range from coding and film club to choir and drama. The school’s SEND provisions are extensive, covering dyslexia, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder, social and emotional mental health needs, multi-sensory impairment, and physical disability. For families whose priority is a genuinely inclusive environment with strong pastoral care — reflected in those Outstanding behaviour and personal development ratings — this school could be a good fit. But for those focused purely on academic outcomes, the local authority average and the proximity of higher-performing alternatives are worth weighing up.
