Check the area around this school
47th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 6.4/10 against 3,750 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.32 |
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 Brooklands Primary School
Overview
Brooklands Primary is described as a "warm and welcoming school" where the community is proud. The inspection found that leadership and management are "exceptional," with a "tangible commitment" to supporting pupils and staff. While the curriculum is ambitious and well-planned, some aspects are new and not yet fully embedded, meaning pupils’ understanding is not always as secure as leaders intend.
Strengths
- Leadership provides a "highly effective balance of support and challenge," prioritising staff professional development and well-being.
- The curriculum is "ambitious," with key vocabulary carefully mapped out to help pupils gain and remember knowledge.
- Reading is a high priority, with a "consistent approach" to phonics and initiatives like the daily "collective cuddle" promoting a love for books.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "fully included," with effective adaptations ensuring they learn well alongside peers.
- Behaviour is positive; pupils are "polite and respectful," and low-level disruption is "swiftly dealt with."
Areas to improve
- Some aspects of the curriculum need to be "embedded further" so that pupils’ learning deepens and they remember detailed knowledge in the long term.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
