33rd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 1,446 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 4.3/10 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 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Avigdor Hirsch Torah Temimah Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as “happy” and “enthusiastic about their learning,” benefiting from a “broad and ambitious curriculum.” The school fosters strong relationships, with teachers who “know the pupils and families very well,” and leaders who ensure the curriculum is accessible for all, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is identified as a “real strength of the school.”
- The curriculum is “rich, broad and balanced,” featuring cross-curricular links and “four overarching questions” that encourage deep exploration.
- Reading is “prioritised and celebrated,” with swift identification and support for pupils needing extra help with early reading.
- Staff feel “very well supported by leaders and governors” and are “proud to work in the school.”
- Pupils are developed beyond academics, learning to be “considerate, active citizens” through trips and clubs.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not always apply the behaviour system consistently, leading to lost learning time; leaders should help establish routines for “calm and purposeful classrooms.”
- Teachers sometimes lack precision in activity choice and instructions, causing gaps in knowledge; leaders should provide support to ensure delivery matches curriculum intent.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff following set processes for reporting concerns and pupils feeling safe and knowing they can raise issues discreetly.
