Check the area around this school
9th of 31 primary schools in Sutton we can score, 41 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 — 9.2/10 against 4,254 of them, against 9.0/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Brookfield Primary Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 25.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join LEO Explorers, Kin Ball, and Wimbledon Tennis, while Arts Week and trips to High Ashurst, Kingswood, and the Isle of Wight provide further experiences. A breakfast club and Holiday Club are available for wraparound care.

What Ofsted said about Brookfield Primary Academy
Overview
Evidence from this ungraded inspection suggests the school’s work “may have improved significantly across all areas” since its previous inspection. Consequently, the next inspection will be a graded one. The report describes a setting where pupils “flourish in a warm and nurturing environment” and achieve excellent outcomes through a well-structured curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “excellent” behaviour, creating a “calm and positive school atmosphere” where disruption is rare.
- The curriculum is “carefully designed” to build skills step-by-step, ensuring pupils develop deep subject understanding and strong vocabulary.
- Early years teaching provides a “strong foundation” in phonics and number, leading to fluent reading and confident mathematics by Year 6.
- Staff provide tailored support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to learn the curriculum “very well.”
- Pupils are “exceptionally well prepared for life in modern Britain” through opportunities like the pupil parliament and diverse cultural celebrations.
Areas to improve
- The report identifies no significant areas for improvement.
