Check the area around this school
37th of 49 primary schools in Haringey we can score, 60 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 — 5.0/10 against 3,300 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 41% | 1.12 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 26% | 2.07 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
