Primary Overview and Ethos and Values

Primary Overview

Earl's Court Free School Primary opened in September 2014 with one Reception class of 30 children.

As of 2020, we are at full capacity with year groups from Reception to Year 6, with a total of 210 pupils on roll. The ECFSP is non-selective, co-educational and secular.

The ECFSP has been judged ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted in 2017. Read the report here.

The schools have developed our own, distinct knowledge-rich curriculum: The Primary Knowledge Curriculum, a carefully sequenced, knowledge-rich programme which inspires pupils, promotes excellent outcomes for all and is underpinned by a drive to overcome inequality of opportunity. 

The Earl's Court Free School Primary is part of the Knowledge Schools Trust.
