Fitzrovia's schools are good, and the ones that have been inspected are all good or outstanding. There is only one state primary in the area. Its maths results are above the expected level. Every graded school in the wider borough is at least good. The trouble is that there are very few school places close by.
Around here there is one mainstream state primary with published results, and its pupils averaged 106 in Key Stage 2 maths. A score of 100 is the expected standard, so 106 is comfortably above it. All Souls CofE Primary School is the named primary in the area. A single school is a small sample, so one year group can move that average more than it would in a district with a dozen schools. The rest of Fitzrovia's buildings are mostly offices, which is why the list stops at one.
Across Westminster, Ofsted has graded 25 schools and settings, and all 25 are good or outstanding. Nine of them are outstanding. None requires improvement and none is inadequate. Another 18 settings in the borough have no published grade yet. They have not been graded, and that tells you nothing about whether they are any good. A record with no weak schools at all is unusual for a London borough.
Living close to a school does not guarantee a place there. Westminster City Council allocates places using its published admissions rules, and church schools such as All Souls can add faith criteria on top of the distance rule. Ask the council for the furthest distance at which All Souls offered a place last year, then measure your flat against it.
Very few families live in Fitzrovia, so the schools near it are not under heavy pressure from local children. That is unusual for central London and works in favour of anyone who does move here with children.
The schools are one of Fitzrovia's real strengths. Every graded school in the borough is at least good, and the local primary's maths results are above the expected standard. A family that can find enough bedrooms here will have little to worry about on schools.
