Check the area around this school
38th 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 — 2.1/10 against 1,673 of them, against 2.0/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 62% | 1.59 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Cedars Manor School
Overview
The inspection found that the school has faced significant challenges, resulting in disrupted learning and inconsistent outcomes for pupils. While early years provision is rated as ‘Good’ and some improvements are emerging in core subjects, the quality of education, behaviour, personal development, and leadership all require improvement.
Strengths
- Early years provision is ‘Good’, with a ‘well designed and thoughtfully delivered’ curriculum that supports children’s motor skills and understanding of number.
- Reading results are ‘steadily increasing’ due to a phonics programme that is ‘set out and sequenced in a logical way’.
- Attendance is improving, with the school working ‘effectively with parents and carers to ensure pupils attend school promptly’.
- A range of clubs, particularly in sport and music, are offered, and pupils take part in swimming lessons and enrichment workshops.
Areas to improve
- Teachers lack sufficient subject expertise, meaning they do not ‘frequently identify and correct misconceptions’, preventing pupils from building learning securely.
- Behaviour management is inconsistent; expectations are not ‘commonly understood or clearly communicated’, allowing unkind behaviour and bullying to occur.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not consistently receive an ‘ambitious or high-quality education’ or the necessary support to access the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
