Check the area around this school
18th of 25 primary schools in Kensington and Chelsea we can score, 26 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 — 9.6/10 against 1,740 of them, against 8.8/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 33.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
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 Bevington Primary School
Overview
The report states that pupils are "not receiving a high-quality education across their subjects" following a period of difficult change and high staff turnover. While attendance is high and some improvements are emerging in core subjects, the curriculum is not delivered effectively, and pupils do not achieve as well as they should.
Strengths
- Pupils report feeling safe, with bullying being uncommon and teachers addressing it correctly.
- Attendance and punctuality rates are high, supported by effective work with parents and carers.
- Most staff feel their well-being and workload are taken into consideration.
- The new curriculum outlines "ambitious expectations" and a broad range of subjects matching the national curriculum.
- Most early reading staff are well trained and know how to deliver the programme effectively.
Areas to improve
- Ensure early reading is prioritised so weaker readers receive "frequent and consistent support" to catch up quickly.
- Strengthen systems to ensure the new curriculum is delivered as intended, particularly in Years 3 to 6, to provide a broad and balanced education.
- Ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive an "ambitious, high-quality education" with full access to the curriculum.
- Embed the behaviour policy effectively to reduce high suspension rates and support positive behaviour.
- Prioritise pupils’ wider development to prepare them for the next stage of education.
- Strengthen governance to hold leaders to account and provide high-quality strategic oversight.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
