The below ranking of top 100 state primary schools in London in based on 2017 SATS data published by the Department of Education. Schools are ranked by the percentage of pupils who achieve a higher level in reading, writing and maths. The average scaled scores in reading and maths are also provided. These overall scores tend to be correlated with the share of children from relatively privileged backgrounds in the class, so it is worth digging deeper into the data to check how much progress children actually make and how much progress children on free school meals make. All this information is provided by the Department of Education on the relevant school profiles, for those who are interested. Keeping that in mind, below are London’s top 100 highest performing state schools based on Key Stage 2 SATS exams taken in 2017:
