Ark Conway Primary Academy at a glance

Located in London, Hammersmith and Fulham, Ark Conway Primary Academy is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a free school. The school educates roughly 207 pupils aged 3 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Outstanding' at its most recent inspection. 86% 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 fallen by 4.0 percentage points compared with 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 108 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 38% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% 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. 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.
