Best primary schools in London

These tables rank state-funded primary schools in London by their 2024/25 Key Stage 2 (KS2) results: the share of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, with the share reaching the higher standard used to separate schools with the same result. Across England, 63% of pupils met the expected standard and 8% reached the higher standard.

Schools with fewer than 20 pupils taking the tests are left out, because one or two pupils can swing their results. Independent schools do not publish KS2 results and are not ranked. See the methodology for details.
