44th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,107 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 3.3/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.35 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Bishop Winnington-Ingram CofE Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that Bishop Winnington-Ingram CofE Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a school where pupils are “extremely happy and feel valued,” supported by staff who have developed “positive relationships” and know pupils “very well.” The school continues to provide a high-quality education with a strong focus on character development and community engagement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate a “caring ethos” through “kind and thoughtful behaviour” and enjoy opportunities such as peer mentoring and outdoor adventure activities.
- The school has developed an “ambitious curriculum” designed to build knowledge progressively, with particular strength in mathematics and writing strategies.
- Leaders prioritise reading from Reception, ensuring pupils become “fluent and confident readers” through a consistent phonics programme and access to a “wide variety of texts.”
- Attendance is improving due to “new measures” and “robust procedures,” including close collaboration with parents to support regular attendance.
- Staff possess “strong subject knowledge” and present information clearly, while support staff work effectively to ensure all pupils, including those with SEND, access the curriculum.
Areas to improve
- Teaching does not always “systematically identify and clarify pupils’ misunderstandings,” meaning some pupils do not retain key knowledge or subject-specific vocabulary in their long-term memory.
- The school should develop teacher expertise to address gaps in understanding and ensure learning is “firmly embedded before moving on to new content.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
