About St Antony's Catholic Primary School

St Antony's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in London, Newham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 435 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 97% 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 risen by 7.0 percentage points year on 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). 36% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Antony's Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 50 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 26.3 pupils per teacher. 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. St Antony's 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.
