24th of 55 primary schools in Bexley 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,236 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Brampton Primary Academy
Overview
Brampton Primary Academy continues to be a good school, where pupils ‘flourish’ in a happy and respectful environment. The report highlights excellent behaviour, a well-designed curriculum, and strong relationships between staff and pupils, noting that children are motivated and achieve well due to high expectations.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is ‘excellent’ across the school, with orderly routines such as ‘fantastic walking’ firmly established.
- Reading is given priority, with a consistent approach to phonics ensuring pupils read with ‘developing fluency’.
- The curriculum is ‘well-designed’, with leaders identifying important knowledge and skills, such as art techniques and mathematical concepts.
- Staff have ‘good subject knowledge’ and typically correct misconceptions quickly, particularly in physical education.
- Pupils access a wide range of enrichment experiences, including clubs and outdoor activities, which help them ‘develop their talents’.
Areas to improve
- The learning of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is not always checked ‘sharply enough’, leading to gaps in their learning.
- The school needs to ensure that the learning of pupils with SEND is checked ‘precisely’ so that these pupils develop detailed skills, knowledge, and understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
