Thomas Jones Primary School at a glance

Located in London, Kensington and Chelsea, Thomas Jones Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 234 pupils aged 3 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Outstanding' at its most recent inspection. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 93% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady 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 113 in reading and 113 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 27% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 42% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (69 first choices for 29 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.26 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 3.1%. There are about 20.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 42% 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. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
