Harrow Road is an ancient route running from Paddington to

Harrow. The section within the City of Westminster is a

bustling shopping street with mainly independent retailers

serving the diverse population of the ward. The rest of the

ward is mostly residential, with 3-4 storey terraced homes,

many of which are converted into apartments. Paddington

Academy (in the East of the ward) was opened by The

Princess Royal in 2009

Based on the latest population figures the ward has 12,250

residents making up 5.5% of the total Westminster

population.

In 2012, the majority of primary school pupils attended Westminster schools rather

than schools outside the City or were being privately educated. The same goes for the

ward's secondary school pupils.

The main Tri-borough primary school attended by Harrow Road residents was

Essendine Primary, and the main secondary school was Paddington Academy.

During a child’s early years at school a measure of their personal, social and emotional

development as well as communication, language and literacy skills is scored. For

Harrow Road residents attending a Westminster school, the average score was lower

than the Westminster average in 2012.

75% of resident pupils attending Westminster primary schools achieved at least level 4

in their Key stage 2 for both English and Maths in 2012.

At secondary schools, pupils are instead performing above the Westminster average

for GCSE results with 72% achieving at least 5 GCSE grades A* to C including Maths

and English. The ward's grades were an improvement on last year (53%).
