Check the area around this school
23rd of 54 primary schools in Wandsworth we can score, 57 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 3,295 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 28.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.43 |
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 Allfarthing Primary School
Overview
Allfarthing Primary School continues to be a good school, offering an ambitious curriculum and a nurturing environment. Leaders maintain high aspirations for all pupils, fostering a community where children feel safe, valued, and prepared for future learning.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "logically sequenced" so pupils "revisit and embed key concepts over time," particularly in mathematics and early reading.
- Pupils are "not concerned about bullying" because it is rare and "swiftly and effectively dealt with," supported by lessons on managing emotions.
- Staff provide "effective approaches and routines to check what pupils know and can do," using this data to identify learning gaps.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "well supported to access the same curriculum as their peers."
- Parents are "overwhelmingly positive," describing the school as "a very nurturing, friendly and community-driven school."
Areas to improve
- In wider curriculum subjects, "purposeful assessment is not as fully embedded," meaning some teaching does not securely address gaps in learning or misunderstandings.
- Systems to identify gaps in subject-specific knowledge are "not firmly embedded," resulting in pupils’ long-term recall of knowledge being "not as full and detailed."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
