Check the area around this school
19th of 35 primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score, 36 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 — 9.5/10 against 1,921 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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 Brackenbury Primary School
Overview
Brackenbury Primary School is described as a "calm and purposeful place to learn" where a "positive, respectful and hard-working ethos" prevails. Pupils enjoy attending school, feel safe, and respond well to the high expectations set by staff. The report highlights that leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum that helps pupils build skills and knowledge logically over time.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and well-structured, with leaders ensuring pupils’ knowledge builds in a "logical order".
- Staff have "secure subject knowledge" and effectively recap previous learning to support new content.
- Reading and phonics are prioritised, with a revised curriculum helping early learners develop "reading fluency" and enthusiasm for stories.
- Behaviour is managed effectively; "off-task behaviour is dealt with quickly" and bullying is reported as "extremely rare".
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "fully included in lessons" with well-planned support.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum thinking in "a few subjects is not as embedded as in others," leading to inconsistencies in implementation.
- In these specific subjects, pupils "do not learn in as much depth as they could."
- Leaders should ensure curriculum thinking is secure across all subjects so teachers can deliver it effectively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are "effective," with a "well-developed culture of safeguarding," accurate records, and staff who are skilled in identifying potential risks.
