Check the area around this school
43rd 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 3,260 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Bedfont Primary School
Overview
Bedfont Primary School is described as a "welcoming and inclusive" institution where staff maintain "high expectations" for all pupils. The report highlights a "broad and ambitious" curriculum that supports strong pupil engagement, with children enjoying school and benefiting from clear support for their mental and physical health.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious right from the start," enabling early years children to "grasp ideas securely" and build foundation knowledge.
- Staff have "good subject knowledge" in most subjects, explaining ideas clearly and designing activities that help pupils "remember and practise" learning.
- There is a strong emphasis on reading, with "effective training" ensuring phonics is taught logically and books are matched to pupils' developing skills.
- Systems for identifying pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "clear and effective," allowing them to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Behaviour is managed "calmly and consistently," resulting in "positive and respectful" relationships and a clear understanding of expectations among pupils.
Areas to improve
- In "a few subjects," the curriculum is at an "earlier stage of development," meaning teachers have not yet completed training to ensure intended knowledge is covered consistently.
- The school should provide appropriate training and support so that these newer curriculum areas can be implemented with "confidence and consistency."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
