Check the area around this school
48th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 — 2.4/10 against 2,230 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Belmore Primary Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, 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 (2.4 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.

Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Extracurriculars include calligraphy, Lego construction, computing skills, origami, pottery, Spanish, singing, and recorder.

What Ofsted said about Belmore Primary Academy
Overview
Leaders maintain high expectations, fostering a community where pupils are “enthusiastic about their learning” and “sensible and respectful of others.” The school provides a “calm and friendly” environment with well-established routines and strong subject knowledge among staff. Inspectors found that pupils are safe, with effective safeguarding arrangements and a supportive culture that quickly addresses any concerns.
Strengths
- Teachers possess “strong subject knowledge” and provide “clear explanations” that help pupils deepen their thinking.
- The school offers a “well-organised programme for the teaching of early reading and phonics,” ensuring pupils read fluently.
- Pupils enjoy a “wide range of extra-curricular clubs” and take on meaningful positions of responsibility, such as in the pupil council.
- Staff are “tenacious” in following up absences, working with agencies to help families overcome barriers to attendance.
- The curriculum includes comprehensive personal, social and health education, covering sensitive issues with trained staff.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should implement revised plans to increase pupils’ access to a “wide range of books” for reading at school and home, as current organisation limits opportunities for reading for pleasure.
- Leaders must ensure their revised training programme is fully implemented so all staff use appropriate strategies to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), preventing them from struggling when lesson content moves on too quickly.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
