39th of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 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 — 4.4/10 against 2,240 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Chalkhill Primary School
Overview
Chalkhill Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "safe, happy" and feel valued by staff who know them well. The report highlights a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that supports strong personal and social development, with positive attitudes towards learning and effective behaviour management.
Strengths
- Pupils are "safe, happy" and report that bullying "seldom occurs," with staff dealing with incidents swiftly.
- Teachers "adapt tasks and resources effectively" to meet the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Leaders prioritise reading, ensuring pupils become "keen and fluent readers" through engaging books and early phonics instruction.
- The curriculum provides "rich experiences," including cultural insights, sporting events, and opportunities for pupils to develop life skills and community responsibility.
- Staff receive "well-planned opportunities for staff development" and value the support provided by leaders, particularly regarding workload.
Areas to improve

Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff using regular training and community knowledge to keep pupils safe and making quick referrals to outside agencies when needed.
