Holy Cross RC School

School overview

Holy Cross RC School is a primary school serving London, Hammersmith and Fulham, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 622 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 92% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 19.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 2% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 24% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 74% of the families who made Holy Cross RC School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 20.6 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Holy Cross RC 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.
