About Pimlico Primary

Pimlico Primary is a primary school in London, Westminster, classified by the DfE as a free school. Around 374 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 52% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 23.0 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 2% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 82% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (34 first choices for 30 places). Overall pupil absence was 6.7%. There are about 18.7 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 45% 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. Pimlico Primary 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.
