Check the area around this school
33rd of 38 primary schools in Harrow we can score, 40 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,601 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Belmont School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. For the higher standard, 6.0% achieved it against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024.

What Ofsted said about Belmont School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are “proud of their school” and embody an ethos of respect and community care. Leaders have designed an “ambitious” curriculum that supports high-quality work and exceptional personal development, though inconsistencies in reading instruction currently limit some pupils’ achievement.
Strengths
- Personal development is “exceptional,” with pupils developing a deep understanding of concepts such as “democracy, equity and injustice.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported through tailored curricula and are “well prepared for the next phase of their education.”
- Behaviour is strong, characterised by a “respectful culture” where bullying is rare and pupils feel able to raise concerns.
- The early years provision offers “rich experiences,” including weekly forest school visits, helping pupils connect learning across subjects.
- Staff receive positive support from leaders, including access to well-being resources and a school counsellor.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in reading is not used consistently well to check and correct misconceptions, limiting some pupils’ fluency and confidence.
- Governors’ reviews of the school’s work have not been “rigorous or timely,” meaning effort has not been sufficiently focused on areas requiring the most attention.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
