Camrose Primary With Nursery
Edgware, HA8 6JH · Harrow · primary school
Check the area around this school
32nd of 38 primary schools in Harrow we can score, 40 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 — 3.8/10 against 2,979 of them, against 3.9/10 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 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Camrose Primary With Nursery
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils benefit from an "ambitious and well-designed curriculum" and "exemplary" behaviour. Leaders maintain high expectations that are "typically met," resulting in pupils who are "thoroughly prepared for the next stage of their education." The inspection highlights a strong focus on personal development, reading, and inclusive practices for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Behaviour is described as "exceptional," supported by the ‘good to be green’ system which fosters "positive and respectful relationships."
- The curriculum is "well sequenced," allowing pupils to build secure knowledge; for instance, in mathematics, children practise number skills through everyday routines like selecting coins at snack time.
- Reading provision is effective, with staff well trained in phonics and books "well matched to the sounds that pupils are learning."
- Personal development is "very well considered," helping pupils understand important concepts such as challenging discrimination and online safety.
- Early years provision is praised for introducing concepts like democracy through simple activities, such as voting for stories.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, assessment is "not used with sufficient precision," meaning errors and misconceptions are not consistently identified or addressed promptly.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
