About Primrose Hill Primary School
Primrose Hill is a two form entry Primary School occupying an impressive, listed Victorian building in a beautiful part of London.
The school looks out on to Regent’s Canal and is near to a number of interesting places such as London Zoo, Camden Lock and Regents Park all of which are visited by the children. There are two large playgrounds and
a separate Nursery building with its own enclosed playground.
We have around 482 children on roll in the Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. There are two parallel classes in each year group, apart from Year 5 where we have 3 classes and the Nursery where there are 39 full time places. Classes are identified by their year number followed by the initial of the teacher’s first name.
We aim to maximise children’s achievement by removing barriers to learning through a varied, creative, inclusive curriculum delivered in a safe, stimulating environment. As a primary school, we believe we have a key role in society in combating discrimination and promoting fairness, justice and equality through our teaching and in the role models we offer.
