Fox Primary School at a glance

Located in London, Kensington and Chelsea, Fox Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 415 pupils aged 4 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Outstanding' at its most recent inspection. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 91% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 2.0 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 1% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 112 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 42% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 39% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (140 first choices for 58 places). Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 17.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
