Excellent Teaching, Excellent Effort, Excellent Progress: Every Child, Every Lesson, Every Day. Established in 1815 to educate the poor children of the local area, Kentish Town Church of England Primary School is an outstanding (July 2024) one form entry primary and nursery school.
As a Church of England school, we seek to educate children from Christian families as well as those from other faiths and world views. Our work is guided by the spiritual values of: Love, Equality and Compassion and underpinned by the parable of The Good Samaritan.
Our school is highly inclusive, having Additionally Resourced Provision for the inclusion of 6 children with physical disabilities and 15 children with autism. In July 2024, OFSTED described our provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities as exceptional. We also hold the National Autistic Society Specialist Provision Award at Advanced Level .
We run the Camden Learning SEND Hub , collaborating with schools across the authority to ensure that Camden children, with additional needs, receive the best possible support in their schools.
