25th of 45 primary schools in Hounslow we can score, 50 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,240 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2/10 among them, against 6.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Alexandra Primary School
Overview
Alexandra Primary School is described as a "warm, welcoming and inclusive school" where pupils "enjoy attending" and feel safe. Leaders have designed an "ambitious curriculum" that ensures pupils build secure prior learning, particularly in reading and mathematics, fostering resilience and confidence.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," with leaders clearly identifying "the most important knowledge" to ensure pupils embed key ideas over time.
- Reading is a high priority; staff follow a phonics programme "consistently," resulting in pupils who read with "increasing accuracy, fluency and confidence."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "swiftly identified" and access the "same curriculum as their peers" through appropriate adaptations.
- Behaviour is excellent, with "rare" instances of bullying and clear routines that ensure "learning is not disrupted."
- Staff feel leaders are "approachable and considerate of their workload and well-being."
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not "consistently focus on the important concepts that have been identified," meaning pupils’ understanding is "not as secure." Leaders must ensure teachers routinely focus on securing these key concepts for all pupils.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with staff receiving appropriate training and leaders acting "swiftly" on referrals to ensure pupils receive necessary help.
