Ark Franklin Primary Academy
London, NW6 6HJ · Brent · primary school
6th of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 10.0/10 against 4,127 of them, against 9.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 96.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 35.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.48 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 96.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 35.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (10.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join guitar, arts and crafts, choir, dance, skateboarding, animation, and cookery clubs. Sports include football and tennis, while arts and music options feature ballet and a ukulele club. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 665 pupils in a building with 630 places, meaning it is over capacity by 35. Because the school is over its stated capacity, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics of being over capacity by 35 places? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the numerous club options scheduled to ensure they do not conflict with core learning time?
