Check the area around this school
17th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 1,448 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Brook House Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where the ‘5 ways’ of kindness, honesty and respect are fundamental, creating an environment where pupils are “happy and safe”. Leaders are “highly ambitious” for all pupils, resulting in “exceptionally well” achieved outcomes and a curriculum that is “extremely ambitious in both its breadth and its depth”.
Strengths
- Pupils “manage their own behaviour extremely well”, with bullying being rare and issues dealt with swiftly.
- The curriculum is carefully planned so learning is “built up step by step”, allowing pupils to “apply it fluently” to complex ideas.
- A “rigorous early reading programme” ensures pupils become “accurate and fluent readers as quickly as possible”, with quick interventions for those falling behind.
- Leaders quickly identify needs for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), breaking down knowledge so they can access the “same ambitious curriculum”.
- Excellent provision supports personal development, including “aspirational programmes” for relationships and health, and a wide range of after-school clubs.
Areas to improve
The report identifies no significant areas for improvement.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a “strong culture” where staff receive regular training to identify and support vulnerable pupils and know how to report concerns.
