Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School

School overview

Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School is a primary school serving London, Brent, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 227 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. 68% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 21.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 30 Reception places. The council's 2026 allocation figures suggest the last child offered a place lived about 1.21 miles away, but the council's document was ambiguous for this school, so treat that figure with caution. Overall pupil absence was 3.4%. There are about 24.8 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 39% 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. Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
