Check the area around this school
33rd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.9/10 against 2,668 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 38% | 3.28 |
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 Berkeley Academy
Overview
Berkeley Academy is described as a “highly inclusive school” where pupils are “happy, polite and respectful.” The report highlights a “strong sense of community” and notes that parents consider the environment to be “nurturing and caring.” Leaders maintain high expectations for learning and behaviour, resulting in lessons that are “calm and purposeful.”
Strengths
- The school promotes pupils’ wider development “exceptionally well,” with a “well-planned and age-appropriate personal, social and health education programme.”
- Reading is a “key priority,” with staff teaching phonics with “fidelity and consistency,” leading to high achievement in the Year 1 phonics check.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the “same ambitious curriculum as their peers” and “achieve well from their different starting points.”
- Staff are “proud to work at Berkeley Academy” and appreciate opportunities for professional development and workload management.
- The curriculum is “broad and balanced,” enriched by carefully aligned visits to places such as the Houses of Parliament and local museums.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, assessment is not used “as precisely,” allowing gaps in learning to develop and leaving some pupils’ understanding “not as secure.”
- Some pupils do not attend school “regularly enough,” and leaders need to do more to support parents in ensuring daily attendance.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
