Morningside Primary School

About Morningside Primary School

Morningside Primary School is a primary school in London, Hackney, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 437 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 5.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 7% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 26% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Morningside Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 30 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 21.0 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 62% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Morningside Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
